At the NCAA level, especially in the postseason, players should be aware of what is allowed and not. This is different from a middle schooler running onto the court from the bench without reporting, because the middle schooler probably does not know the rules. I cannot cut the same amount of slack to a college player. While his intentions are understandable (aid the injured player), his intervention on the court could interfere with the game. Thus, the technical foul must be assessed.

Say goodbye to ever working Paul the 6th and DeMatha.

That's fine with me. I never really expected to work the WCAC.

All jokes aside, if there was a less extreme remedy allowed by the rules, I would consider it. However, the rules are all or nothing as written, so a T is the only legal solution here.

Did they interfere with anything? Were they addressing teammates that were near their bench? Nope to all of that.

Not calling anything. The only thing I might say is something to the coach about them not coming out too far, but I am doing nothing when no one was interfering with play at all. Sorry, not doing it.

Peace
