Ok, now onto the soapbox. FED should adopt the NCAA "point of interruption" procedure for technical fouls. FED should adopt some form of the NCAA "team control" foul. FED should adopt the NBA's rule that only players on the floor may request a TO.

I only agree with the TO, Chuck, but I would like to see POI on a double foul.

The T penalty should be harsh. Sportsmanship should be stressed at the HS level and loss of possession emphasizes this.
Team control doesn't do it for me even in the NCAA. I don't like the fact that if two guys are pushing for position away from the ball and a foul is called on one of them, whether we shoot free throws depends on whose team had the ball. I think it is unfair to the defense. They seem to be penalized more severely for the same act. I also know what will quickly follow: team control during a throw-in. I don't want the NFHS to change this, it would be a nightmare to see some HS officials trying to explain to a coach why a certain play is not a backcourt violation.
