Delay of Game Technical Fouls
 

Are delay of game technical fouls charged directly to the player?

These are administrative in nature, the foul goes to the Team, not any one player or coach. The technical foul does apply to bonus FT count as well.

Peace

What Rut meant to say is, "No."

Technically (pun intended), isn't it a delay of game technical when a defender reaches over the boundary line and strikes the ball while it is being held by an inbounding player? That technical foul is charged directly to the player. Of course, if he doesn't touch the ball and it is the second delay violation (following a warning against that team), the technical is not charged directly to the player.

Yes. :D

Peace

The answer is "yes" and "no".

It depends on the type of delay. You have delays listed under NFHS rules 10-1-5, 9 & 10 which are charged to a team. You also have delays listed under NFHS rules 10-3-6 & 11 which are charged to the player. You have to learn the different situations and the appropriate penalty for each.

I agree with Nevada.

Yes, in college. No, in NFHS. Note the exeptions from the old ref

Oh my.....

I'm not completely sure, but I have a feeling that I might just have been dumped on.

Are you really comparing me to an evil Barney Fife?

I always kind of thought of myself more as a Floyd the Barber type. You know, easy going, well-mannered......

Holding a razor blade?

...a little slow...nice haircut, though...

...evil type

Not correct. Touching the ball is NOT a delay of game T. It is a personal T. It does, however, come with a simultaneous delay of game warning for any subsequent DOG violations.
