You got to know the rules...

And why should that be a T? There is no rule in the be about slamming the ball down. However, there is a rule about disrespecting an official or disagreeing with a call. THAT is what slamming the ball down is about, 99.9% of the time. In this specific case, I think KU was called for a foul and Memphis was pumped up and he reacted as such...or it was some other situation...not a disagreement with a call. Could it have been called? It could have....and wouldn't have been "wrong". But, would it have been the right call...probably not what the rules were intended to address. When's the last time you've seen a T called at the end of the game when a player heaves the ball into the air as time is about to expire....not really much different.

What rule has been broken here to even consider calling a technical foul? I believe that a player can throw a live ball into the air as high as he, or she, can without being called for a violation, or a foul.
