Friday night. Pistons-Sonics.
Hamilton attempts a 3-ball (misses)in front of visitors' bench when coach (Bob Hill) is on court. Apparent contact, ref makes call: Basket good (3 pts), shoot tech (4 pt play). Ball to Sonics. What's the call NFHS? |
You charge the coach with 2 direct technical fouls - one for entering the court without permission and one for committing an unporting act. Coach is ejected. The shooting team gets 4 free throws and the ball at center for a throw-in.

Same as the way they handled it. Coach was on the court where he shouldn't have been which resulted in interference with an opposing player, T'him up and move on.
|
JR, that ruling is for intentional interference by a team member. You think we should apply the same ruling to an unintentional act, basically being out of the coaching box? Just asking.

Does anyone know the actual rule or have a copy of the case that applies, just out of curiosity?

COMMENT: Two technical fouls must be assessed in this situation. Otherwise, the team committing the infraction would benefit from the act. (10-4-1; 10-4-2)
Wouldn't this be a reason to follow JR's interp? Why let a team possibly benefit from the Coach's infraction? |

The only problem I have with two Ts is the coach is going to get ejected when he unintentionally intefered with the game. Just my opinion.
