You are manufacturing a rules interpretation to meet your own personal view instead of following guidelines in the book.

I don't understand your reasoning here. Why would a 'good' official go looking for a reason to call a Tech where one is not warranted by rule.

If you want to call more Techs, then concentrate on some of the unsporting behavior and bench decorum infractions that too many officials let slide by.

I don't want to call more T's. I was just trying to make a point that it just seems unfair to the offensive team to allow a kid to slap the backboard so hard that in your judgement it caused the shot to be missed, and that we are not going to do anything about it. Ask Roger or Mike what they would do on this play BadNewsRef.
