I'd call it with 2 seconds left, I'd call it with 0.2 seconds left and, if I were around to see it, I'd call it after the horn (if it was the player's 2nd T or if it was a flagrant act).

I told him it didn't matter, I can't take the chance of a fight breaking out, save the trash talk for after the game.
I've heard this many times in college intramurals, and it's the biggest BS excuse ever. There's no way I can know that before a situation starts, there's no way I can verify that claim once taunting occurs and even if you do know the player, you're still not allowed to taunt him.

Ditto. Taunting has to be taken care of. If I wouldn't do it in an actual game, I wouldn't post it.

I don't know Adam, I had your CMB JV and Freshmen boys last night and had to call eleventeen player control fouls on them because they all dribble with their head down. Maybe you need to move back to the big city and coach. Besides, these days I make much more money off my whistle than my jump shot. :D

Not exactly a basketball powerhouse, are we?

I would probably call the technical on instinct alone and not even worry about how much time is left. Zero tolerance on taunting!

Calling what I saw last night "basketball" was using the term loosely. I don't see your varsity this season. You evidently have some athletes around because the football team had an OK season. I just certainly didn't see them last night.
