Withheld Whistle on T for NBA/NCAA/FED

[Nevadaref]

Of course, the announcer is wrong. You should always assume that anything a TV commentator says is incorrect. You will be right far more frequently that way.

FYI, here are both the NCAA and NFHS rules:

NCAA

BR-143
RULE 10-8/FOULS AND PENALTIES
Art. 3. Using profanity or language that is abusive, vulgar or obscene.
A.R. 11. A1 is driving toward the basket when an official, while trailing the play and advancing in the direction in which the ball is being advanced, is sworn at by the coach of Team B. RULING: The official shall withhold the whistle until A1 has either made or missed the layup. The official then shall sound the whistle and assess the offending coach a direct technical foul, which could be flagrant.


NFHS

10.4.1 Situation E

Someone else will have to cut and paste this, as I don't have an electronic copy of the casebook.
