Celebration - Overtime
There was a game last night where a player hit a half court shot to tie the game at the end of the 4th quarter. The horn went off when the ball was in flight. The bench cleared and a huge celebration took place in the middle of the court with half the bleachers emptying onto the floor.
My question is at what point should a technical foul be called or not called? This is a region playoff game and it was the home team that hit the shot. It's hard to imagine that any team in this situation wouldn't react this way. I found this case play: Quote:
Of course if a technical is called it would be administered in the extra period not in the 4th quarter. (2 shots and the ball at the division line) |

Have fun volunteering for the prison leagues. That's about all you'll be able to book if you make that call. I'm not saying YOU would. I saying anyone who would, doesn't have the temperment for the game. Common sense isn't in the case book, the rule book, or in an AR by the NF. However, it's probably one of the most important tools you can use. It's sport, and like life, sport isn't devoid of emotion. That's why we ref, and that's why they play. That kid won't forget that for the rest of her life. Imagine taking that away.

Under NCAA rules there is no T. Not even a judgement issue.
10.3.21 Art. 21. Delaying the game by preventing the ball from being promptly made live or by preventing continuous play. This shall also apply to bench personnel. a. When the delay does not interfere with play, it shall be ignored and play shall be continued or be resumed at the point of interruption.

I can't believe some of you would actually call a T in this case. I could see if there was some taunting or if the quarter hadn't ended. In the original post this was a regional, not that it would make any difference to me. What is the true spirit an intent of the rule. I'm not saying you'd be miss applying a rule. But don't you think your missing the intent of the rule?

The game's not over and the crowd comes onto the court like this? If it takes more time to clear up and start immediately than if they had not come on the floor....darned right I'd have a technical foul. |

http://www.newsobserver.com/122/story/413188.html In that game, there were still 1.7 seconds left in the game and the fans inexplicably rushed the court. But to me, there's no difference between time being left on the clock and the game not being over due to overtime. The fans don't belong on the court during the game. It's not safe for the players, the officials, anybody. |

Bench clearing is one thing, and even if the bleachers start to spill out a bit, that's okay. I'll herd them back to their bench and we'll play on once game management gets the crowd back to their seats; if they can do it in a reasonable amount of time.
But a "huge celebration in the middle of the court?" I'm assuming the players were involved in this "huge celebration," in which case I'm likely to issue the T.
