Taunting T: Texas Tech/Houston
JRut, would love to talk about the subject play on your site. I had no issue with the call, but was the ball really dead when the Tfoul took place? Has POI implications.
Is this the kind of thing we should go to the monitor to check, or would that be splitting hairs? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Why should it matter? AFAIK, class A technical fouls (taunting is a Class A technical foul) are enforced with 2 free throws and the game resuming from the point of interruption, whether or not the ball is dead.

This is true. My point is that they treated the POI as though the TF followed an OOB violation. Strictly speaking, that’s not what happened; the TF occurred while the ball was live with no team in control. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I suppose it’s about time I learn how to embed:

Yes, it worked.
I don't understand why the official walked all the way into the team bench area and also put his hands on the player. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk |

A couple of things.
This is a Final Four official. If you saw any parts of this second half, this game was getting out of hand quickly. There were a few other players where players had to be separated. Secondly, this was a T on a player after a lot of other crap that took place. I am sure the official wanted to make sure the coach knew exactly what took place. I am sure they have a relationship as both coach and official have been around in a few other leagues for some time. Finally, this was a dead ball going to Texas Tech. They were getting the ball and the penalty for an unsporting T which is a Class A technical foul, is simply POI. The ball was going to be on the end line, that is where they put the ball after the free throws. Peace |

Houston had the arrow. Tech got the throw-in. Just sayin. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Now, imagine if they had called a foul on the first defender....there was certainly enough contact there from a player without LGP that it wouldn't be a surprise to see one. If that had been called, the ball would have been dead by the time of the T since the try would end on the block. |
Are we sure the T wasn't for grabbing the net?

I have to say I kind of chuckled at the entire Houston team’s histrionics as soon as the call was made.
The paradox is that whenever that happens, you know the call was warranted! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
