To AP or not AP?

[Frankied]

Interesting situtation that occurred the other night.

A1 has ball in his front court and makes a poor pass back to his guard A2. Without being touched, the ball flies over everyone's head and goes into the back court. As A2 races back to the ball in the back court, A1 lets out a loud ssshhh.....t! Everyone in the gym (including the locker rooms) heard this and my partner blows his whistle for the technical foul. 20 seconds on the shot clock.

Now the ball had not been touched yet for the violation as A2 still had not caught up to the ball at the time of the whistle.

So we shoot the 2 technical shots and ....

We went AP (A got the ball back with 20 on shot clock) but I am not sure that this was correct.

Please post responses according to NCAA rules.
