Double Technicals

[bainemc]

In game last night in Alvin Texas, 8th grade. My Pard blows his whistle and foul signal. He gives a Tech to A1 and says he is ejecting A1 & B1. I called him over to confer. I was at trail near mid court and had seen A1 push B1 into the wall, they were both moving on a fast break and the momentum alone would have carried them close to the padded wall(but A1 definitely helped) B1 facing the wall comes off with a elbow (misses) and says something to the effect of Quit Fouling Me.

I had seen the push by A1. Didn't see the elbow by B1, and then I saw A1 go after him again. ANYWAY, Pard was going to eject 2 players but only call T on one. I told him that we could not eject 2 players for fighting or unsportsmanlike conduct etc without giving both of them a technical. Then he said, OK we will just keep both in the game. I said, no way; I saw A1 with the deliberate push into the wall, You saw the thrown elbow. Both should be gone and both with the "T".

Comments or corrections for this 1st year Ref(my pards 3rd year)

Then I was not sure of the penalty. We shot Tech free throws with both teams then went to the possesion arrow.

Did I get it almost right?????

Thanks guys, this forum has been a great help.
