Faceguard

[kbilla]

Called a tech for the first time last night for faceguarding....durng a throw in the kid did it once, other kid knocked his hand down, then the kid did it again so I banged him...not sure if I like this being a tech though, but I suppose it is non-contact and it doesn't really penalize the defense by calling a violation on them - what is the penalty, the offense gets a ball back that they already had. This was only an 8th grade game (albeit a very competitive one), so maybe a warning may have sufficed, but in that situation with things starting to get heated, I thought it was the right thing to do...
