NOt having been there it is hard to say exactly what I would hav edone personally however by looking at the way this is written I am going to have to saythat the player deserved it.
the player had just recieved his fifth foul from Ref A then made some demonstrative display about the call that was sufficient for Ref B to WHACK him the first time. Ref B (at least he should have been) was a good 25 - 30 feet away and the actions he saw were sufficient to deserve a T any actions after that are just plain stupid on the part of both the coach and the player - the coach should have got him off the loor and the player should have shut the H2!! up, or quit dancing around the gym to get the second one. I would have prefereded that 1 T came from each official but I don't seem to have a problem with it the way it sounds. |

Quit worrying about if it was the right thing to do to the kid - the kid did it to himself - address that behavior - Referees do not create behavior - they react to the behavior of others and impose penalties based on others actions.
Yet we always see people asking if the referee was right to do what they did - not was the player right to do what they did? Should the kid have gotten two technicals? Apparently so because he got them - would 5 out of 10 officials have responded differently - probably - however at that precise moment in time that official who was entrusted with the responsibility to call that particular game determined that kid needed to recieve two technical fouls for his actions - you have to back your officials on this - it is a judgment call. In the rules it specifically states that "Disrespectfully addressing or contacting an official or gesturing in such a manner as to indicate resentment" - that is all it takes to get your own personal technical foul, and as you have heard a lot of us have less tolerance at the lower level's than than the higher ones for this sort of behavior. |
