Technical foul for too many players

So in a close 5A district (2 to 4 point) ball, for a possible playoff place ball game, you're gunna penalize a team for an OFFICIALS mistake when it had no direct effect on the play because the guy was hauling off the court before anyone could defend him?

Yep, I'm going to enforce the rule of HS basketball. The teams come to that contest with the expectation that the game is going to called according to the rules, not by the feelings and whims of the individual officials.

In the play in question, the officials already made one mistake, and so did the team BTW since they miscommunicated and didn't hustle off the court in a timely manner, don't compound this error by purposely committing another one.

What if you had administered that throw-in to the wrong team and they inbounded and scored? Are you going to wipe all of that away because it was an officials' mistake?

Sorry partner, but there are rules to cover this stuff because, believe it or not, it has all happened before, probably long before you were even born, and the people whose opinions matter got together and codified what was judged to be a fair resolution. That is what needs to be followed.

Who are you to come along and handle the NFHS game in your own way?
