A1 drives from outside the arch, B1 steps in (a hair late), Tweet "block;" Then a half second later A1 slams the ball on the ground, ball goes about 30 feet up. I of course am like "wha..?" so I bink(T) him!

I give Team B two shots, then, when I start to give team B the ball, A team is saying that it should be there ball (of course B takes advantage of the whining and scores a quick 2 with no Defense). Is this the right call? No bonus or shooting situation on the original block.

It seems right, but not really fair.

If Team A is in the bonus or this was a shooting foul, then the FTs are shot.

FED or NCAA rules?

This is under Fed rules (Intramural game w/ some mods). And there was NO bonus or shooting foul situation in effect at the time for either team.

Sounds right. B should get two shots and the ball at midcourt. Why did A slam the ball down? Sounds like there was more to the situation.

It's the rule and it is fair. Something has to discourage players from getting technicals. Two shots and the ball seems fair.

More to situation

I think the reason A slammed the ball on the ground was because when he was blocked by B he got a facefull of arm, which I didn't see because I was T, all he did was go "damn it!" and slammed the ball on the ground, then team B players were all like "he can't do that." If I would have known that the ball slam was out of pain and not anger towards the player or me, I would have done things differently; but sadly I already blew the T before I could realize why exactly he slammed the ball on the ground. It's one of those crappy situations. It happened to me in football; I got tackled and screamed out the F bomb, unheard of from me before, but when my platella goes somewhere it shouldn't I react differently.

I don't know about how others feel, but slamming the ball 30ft in the air because your hurt is no excuse.

Players have to be in control of their emotions. Sounds like you made the right call whether you think so or not. You said that this was rec or something, you taught the kid a lesson. When he gets to high school this behavior will not fly; now, I doubt he will even try it.

The reality is... They need to be "retrained" if they actually did learn it earlier!

Secondly, the integrity of the game requires that you call this. Letting it slide will make it harder to control all aspects of the game; especially in intramural league.
