How do you know what the official called on the player? Not being rude, just curious
I paused the video. It appears to me he came up with the arms crossed over his head.

From this video, the calling official lacks game-awareness situation. My input is that the calling official (T) should have waited after the shot to call the T on the coach. With the technical, he's taking the three point attempt away from white team and was not in position to observe the entire play.

If the 3point try goes in, the ball goes back to white team after the two ft for the T. I bet the coach would think twice next time he decided to scream at an official. But because of the quick T, he's not in position to observe the action of the black jersey defender.

A friendly reminder is to always be patient with T's.

How do you know Coach is not white team coach? It's really close regarding blowing T, when white receives ball, the nearest defender is six feet away and screened the fouler does a bulls rush from ten feet away. I can't blame official who has getting an earful from a coach who wants to be whacked.

We have the luxury of watching it from our arm chair. Could he have waited longer? Maybe, but I'm not going to fault him on this one.

From this camera angle, I cannot tell whether the coach is for the black or white team. But if you watch the video closely, pulse at the 12 and 13 second mark. As soon as the shooter catches the ball, the official took his eyes away from the play and called the T. Like i said in the previous post, if he is aware of the game situation, he should have seen the entire play then call the T.

I am with most of you, I have the "T", but I am penalizing the foul after the "T" because of the severity.

Good point, Mark. I completely missed the official issue a technical foul to the coach.
