I'm thinking since you used "slams" plus an apostrophe, it merited a T Pizanno, fyi - that's exclamation point (!), not apostrophe (') Quote: I go over to him tell him not to do that again. T him, then talk to him so he doesn't commit a second T and get tossed. First T you couldn't warn him before it happened because you didn't know he would be that stupid to do that! (proper use of exclamation point) |

Thanks, Travelin. I guess I missed the point, or the period!

I just spent an evening with two partners who were more worried about what was best for them and not the game. That as you can imagine leads to some things that are not best for the game. So I may have over reacted but the terminology just struck me wrong. I do not see much leeway for not calling a T here, this player did not have the ball when the play was blown dead, the player then picked up the ball and instead of handing it to an official, slammed the ball to the floor in such a manner that it went 10' in the air? I can think of a couple of reasons the player might get whacked here, no matter who the player was upset with.

Merely dropping it from 6' bounces it over 4'1". |

Interesting point - But I doubt it would change my mind about whacking him because it was such an overt act.

What if he was walking to his bench when the ball was bouncing right in front of him, then he grabs it and "bounces" it.
I think the height does matter. If the original post had a player grabbing it and "bouncing it" rather than using the charged term "slam," no one would be crying for a T. So, what's the height threshold for a slam verses a bounce? If the OP had the player throwing it down and it only bounces 5 feet, is that a T?

To "T", Or Not To "T", That Is The Question ???
Same situation, but this time the player in question, instantly realizes that his intentions may have been mistaken, and that his action may have been impulsive, and unsporting, sprints to retrieve the ball, sprints back to the nearest official, hands the official the ball, and says, "Sorry Mr. BillyMac", all before a whistle is blown, or not blown, for a technical foul. Still a technical foul?

Mr. mick Would Have Just Earned Him A Simple Techncial ...
And I ejected a coach who insulted me by calling me mick. I had no idea that he used to coach on Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and carried some bitter memories with him. I even went "off book signals" and gave him the old, "You're Outta Here" signal. Felt good. Real good.
