Celebration - Overtime

Bummer for the home team but call the "T" and start the OT with 2 free throws and the ball.

If the team had stayed on the bench and only the crowd spilled onto the court would you have the same call??

Agreed. Fans are one thing, but the team should know better. T'em up and guaranteed it teaches them a lesson.

what lesson are you going to teach them? not to be excited when they hit a 1 in a million shot to tie a game that by that point they had a 1 in a million chance of winning? yup great lesson there -- "jimmy a great thing will happen in your life today and its probably the only time it will happen so I expect you to act like it happens all the time and its not big deal."

i would get game management and I would even help herding the kids back into the stands and remind the coach that we still have OT to play.

A T is a last resort tool I would use in this case after all other avenues have been exhausted and there was no cooperation or hope of improving the sitatution in a timely and expeditious manner.

For once I agree with deecee. Good call.
