Does this constitute fighting ?

I suppose I could have ejected BillyBob for the shove, and I thought about it and reason that the shove was more than a common foul, but less than a flagrant. So I called a technical foul.

I will never forget this game as everybody in the gym was pissed off except for me. I was taking it easy, easy like Sunday morning.....but I still gave ole BillyBob a technical and I remeber telling all the parents, you all need to be in church.

Absolutely great, you moron. The only thing that you absolutely couldn't call on this play was a freaking technical foul. Live-ball contact fouls have to be a PERSONAL foul of some kind. The RULES say that you could call either a common personal foul, an intentional personal foul or a flagrant personal foul. Instead, Mr. WannabeAnOfficialSomeday calls the only thing that the rules won't allow to be called---a technical foul of some kind.

And this basic little fact has already been pointed out to you several times since you first infested this forum.

You could screw up a one-car funeral.

Lah me.....it just never stops.
