Mark,
An official must go through responses 1 through 9. 10, which is a technical foul. 1 through 9 responses are other options that an offical can use as well. Everybody has responded in situations by giving a Technical or not giving one and should have. After reflecting on the particular situation, I agree with Drake here that another response (1 through 9) COULD have been used to prevent the ejection. If I have to eject a player/coach I want everybody in the gym to know and understand why because his actions were so severe and we had no other choice but to respond with response #10.

Thanks for the confirmation Drake. I wrote the exact same thing in a reply previous to yours. Your remarks are right on!

That may be the reason for the quotation marks. You want a by-line too?

I realized that.

I just for got to put the

at the end.
But I've corrected that oversight!

Ok Lets us see if we can clear this matter.First of all if the travel takes place first it is a travel.My take on the original situation was would you correct a play that your partner totally missed.My answer to that was yes if you know for sure correct it regardless of the game or time you will never get in trouble by doing the correct thing.What are some of the plays we would correct ?? A rule,an out of bounds play that was called backwards,putting the ball in play at the proper spot,just to name a few.We certainly do not want to get into judgement plays do we ??? If my partner calls a block and from where I am it appears to be an offensive foul I certainly would not come to him to change his call. It was a great question which has received excellent responses which is how we all learn,and we are never too good to learn,this is why I love his site because we can all come together and talk about plays and this was a good one.In officiating doing what is right is the key.We all have to trust our partners judgements but we also can all help each other on plays that need help and you are all smart enough to know which plays we are talking about. Have a great day
