Hey everybody. I had a game today, and a pretty weird situation came up today, which resulted in a technical foul agaisnt a player on the other team. I want a second opinion.
Here's the scenario: Blue 52 (me) and Black 23 (opposing team player) are fighting for the ball (tugging at it). Referee calls jump. Black 23 keeps wrestling for the ball, so in turn, I do to. After a second, Black 23 yells "Get off of me man!" Referee calls a technical foul against Black 23 for unsportsman like conduct. What would you of done? I would have first backed me and Black 23 apart (there wasn't any fighting, but to prevent one), then I would of signaled the technical and given it to Black 23. I think the Ref did right. What about you? Thanks, Matthew |

I agree with BktBallRef that a "T" is not called for in this situation. I would give another shot on the whistle or walk up to the players and say, authoritatively, "Stop when you hear the whistle".
Had there been a lot of physical play in the game up to this point? Maybe the offical was trying to get the game under control. Even so, I would not give a Tech for this. |

Thanks for your input, Mike! You see, me and 23 had kind of been picking at each other during the game.
I may not of saw everything that happened, like maybe when I turned my back, or he may of muttered something under his breath that I didn't hear. Thanks, Matt |

OPTIPLEX--
Why were YOU still hanging onto the ball? Once the whistle goes, you gain no advantage. Here's what you could do next time to look really cool -- (I'm not being sarcastic, it looks great!) When the whistle sounds, keep holding on just until the other player gives a good tug, then let go. If he falls or looks foolish it's his own fault, and you look mature, and controlled. Be sure your hands don't sort of go with the ball -- you don't want it to look like a push! Keep asking questions, and keep playing within the rules. If you do, you will go far in life, whatever your field may be! PS I hope your parents didn't give you the name as above. If so, my final advice is to change it when you turn 18 juulie |

Optiplex -- didn't intend to me mean, about your name. I was sort of kidding, since I was pretty sure bktballref, and Mick, and various others of us all have or had proper names at one time. I was just being a little, well, jr. hi, I guess. Ive done a lot of 8th grade boys this weekend and I suppose some of it rubbed off. |
