Team Control during a free throw?
A1 has the ball at disposal for a free throw. Before A1 begins his shooting motion and releases the ball on the try, A4 in a marked lane space fouls B4, also in a marked lane space. Does Team A have team control (for fouls) when the ball is at A1's disposal? Is the foul by A4 a team control foul and thus no free throws for B4 if Team B is in the bonus?

Canceled ???

Or are we assuming that A1 continued his motion and released a dead ball? Canceled, or just restarted? |

4-19-7 referenced in the CB play is the Team Control Foul. |
No Continuous Motion ...

If A1 had not reacted to the whistle in a timely manner and had released the ball and "successfully" made a dead ball free throw, Team A head coach would be very upset when A1's "successful" throw was canceled and then A1 missed his unhindered free throw. If Team A head coach is the visitor, he's probably headed out to sit on the cold dark bus in the cold dark parking lot. |

Ejections ...

2) If concise, ten word explanations prevented coach ejections, there would be far fewer coach ejections. Back in the day, we had some local "old school" officials who would purposely get into arguments with coaches with the intent to eventually eject them, and then show up at the post game "watering holes" proudly wearing their "badge of honor" (and free adult beverages). Those days, locally, for the most part, are long gone. Game management has become much more nuanced than in the past. Connecticut coaches are still ejected (too often according to the CIAC, which recently increased the ejection penalty from one game to two games, multiple ejections can lead to a $250 school fine and the team being barred from CIAC postseason competition), almost always due to their own fault, very rarely due an overzealous official with ill intent. |
"2) If concise, ten word explanations prevented coach ejections, there would be far fewer coach ejections."
Yes, they do prevent technical fouls and ejections. The problem is a lot of officials don't know how to be direct and economical with their words and stay rooted in the rule book. And of course not knowing rules in the first place is part of the problem. Sent from my SM-S926U using Tapatalk |

But even our best "game management" officials still have to occasionally eject some coaches. Just like we have some poor "game management" officials, we also have some poor "game management" coaches that end up being ejected despite the best "game management" practices of the best "game management" officials. Especially here in Connecticut. Quote:
I've never driven home from a game thinking, "I should have ejected that coach". However, I will admit that I have driven home from a few games regretting not charging a few technical fouls. Live and learn. |
Working Officials ...

Back when I was starting, not only were there "old school" officials who would purposely get into arguments with coaches with the intent to eventually eject them, but there were also many "old school"coaches who spent a considerable amount of time during the game, starting with the jump ball toss, "working" officials. They thought it was expected of them, as did their players, athletic directors, principals, parents, and fans, a normal part of their job. But that's become, for the most part, thank God, a "lost art". Some, a few, still do it, but most interscholastic coaches spend most of their time during the game actually "coaching" their players, and only challenge officials for, what they consider to be, egregious calls. Unfortunately, they often react to these egregious calls in egregious ways, resulting in technical fouls. Instead of the "slow burn", "death by a thousand cuts", of "ancient times", it's become a "flash fire", "knife to the heart" situation. |
