The situation I saw at a game the other night has thrown me for a loop. The home team begins their warmups by having 2 lines of 6 players on each side of the lane. Two players at a time run down to the backboard, jump as high as they can and slap the backboard as hard as they can with both hands.

I remember when I played we often had a warm up drill where we would go down to the backboard and jump up and down touching the backboard each time until we got to 10 times and no one thought anything about it.

The play that I described in the first paragraph made me think of Techs, in fact, multiple techs. I asked some Big Dog officials I worked a game with and they said it was nothing. I asked another Big Dog official today and he said it sounded like Techs. So, I've come to you for a definitive answer.

Looking in the Rule Book, I didn't really find anything to back up the Tech position. Looking in the Case book, I found this comment relating to 10.3.5: "A player who strikes either backboard so forcefully it cannot be ignored because it is an attempt to draw attention to the player...may be assessed a technical foul pursuant to Rule 10-3-7."

I truly appreciate any and all input.
