Then A1 shot and made the basket. T or no T? I did not T B1.

Technical foul. Easy call...made it myself two weeks ago.

Pump fake, B1 goes up and slaps the backboard unecessarily. If there's no shot, there's no block attempt.

2nd half, same game, A1 drives baseline, reverse layup. B1 flies in and slaps the other side of the backboard. Second T.

Never made that call in my life and I get it twice in one game.
