Technical AFTER the Game

After a game I'm like a black and white blur to the lockeroom. With the comment they were getting there jackets after the game, WHAT? Who wears there jackets after halftime. Why would you penalize the kids on what the fans said AFTER the game. GET IN, GET DONE , GET OUT!!!!!

I have been doing private schools and public school JV for three years now. In that time, I have never been offered a "lockeroom" to run to. In this area, JV officials arrive in uniform, we remove our jackets and they are left at the scorer's table. When the game is over, we go to the scorer's table, get our jackets and leave.

For whatever reason, the visiting team received a "T" after the game was over (I don't know if it was justified or not). I do know the home team hit both free throws to force the game into overtime. I do know that the visiting team's coach initially refused to bring his team out for overtime, but then changed his mind. The purpose of my post was to get feedback on how long a coach had to make such a decision. Was the official right in saying that the visiting coach had already made his decision and that the game was over - home team wins in forfeit?
