Brawl in the BC/Duke game

[JugglingReferee]

When I saw the actions of the players, I fully expected a double technical, with no foul shots.

Could the officials have ruled either (a) a false double technical, or (b) different types of technical fouls, so that foul shots were taken, in the hopes of sending a stronger message to keep that nonsense out of this game?

I gotta think that with points involved, teams should receive a stronger message. If you end up losing by 1, you would reflect more on the instigating or retaliating actions. I'd totally do this in an NFHS game. Is there a philosophy in the NCAA ranks as I have described?

Editted for grammar.
