Rule 10, Section 7. Direct Technical Fouls for Unsporting Player Conduct
Unsporting acts of players include, but are not limited to, the following:
Art. 3. Purposely obstructing an opponent’s vision by waving or placing hand(s) near his or her eyes.

It's in the NCAA rulebook, which you can download from http://www.ncaa.org.

Why a T? I understand if they fake poking them in the eye or stomach (which a majority of the high schoolers these days do) but to simply put there hand in their face........that is taught by 99.999999% of coaches in the world! That doesn't mean that it is right but I believe it is good defense. Just my opinion!

Good defense. Right.

Hey, if this is good defense, then the next time I'm playing, I'm gunna spray mace in my opponent's face - surely that would be REALLY good defense?
