Some of the previous posts regarding technical fouls got me thinking about when, exactly, the whistle should be blown to call a T.

For example, Team A has a 2 on 1 breakaway and the coach of Team B says something unsporting in the process. Should the official wait for the play to end and then call the T? Or immediately blow the whistle?

Thanks.

If you've got a patient enough whistle -- this is a great way to do this. I have had several assignors describe this as a great way to handle the T -- so that you're not also penalizing Team A from their easy basket.

Your situation is covered exactly under case book play 10.4.1SitE.

RULING: "The official shall withhold blowing the whistle until A1 has either made or missed the shot. The official shall then sound his whistle and assess the Team B head coach with a technical foul.......If A's coach was the offender, the whistle should be sounded immediately when the unsporting foul occurs".

Yet another great line from Cheers, spoken by Cliffy Claven. Cliff's definition of a "Freudian slip" is: "It's when you say one thing, but you mean your Mother."
