During warmups of first game at 15 minute mark when officials come on floor, first player rips off a 360 and makes sure the officials sees him. First technical given. Next player, throws himself a lob and catches it and does a nice reverse dunk and hangs on the rim to make sure he is seen also. And of course it wouldn't be a charm if they didn't have the 3rd player stand at the free throw line and bounce it between his legs off the backboard and go get it and jam it through. The officials call all 3 Technicals Fouls, which would be 3 indirects on the coach correct???? EJECTION, $50 FINE IN KENTUCKY, AND 1 GAME SUSPENSION THE NEXT GAME. Of course the kids have long talk afterwards with coach about ironing out some of the problems, but that is another story!

Just wondering if this was the appropriate call?

That story / example has been around since Dr. Naismith first reinforced the peach basket.

The game penalty on the coach (3 indirects so he's out) is correct; the rest is up to the state association.

Bob is right. And it didn't happen in Kentucky.

Honestly never heard of the story. Just brought this up because some of our players at our local high school were talking about doing it their first game.
