My mistake, B2 is not in the play. The T was on B1. B1 didn't know where the ball was and put up his hands and arms over his head running back to cover the offensive player.

By the way the Coach of the offending team was upset.

Based on this information, which is what I thought happened to begin with, a T should not have been called.

And yes, I bet the coach was upset.

Now that you have cleared-up the B2 point. Terrible Technical Call.

A similar situation A2 is posted-up. B2 is either facing or has his back to A2. B2 vertically raises his arms in a defensive move. Call? Nothing to call as the arms are vertical. Except that B1 is running in your example what is the difference?
