6th Foul, Then Technical Foul Question

[zm1283]

I had the exact same situation as the OP in a game last wee. I called B20 for a hold, which was the 6th team foul. He showed his displeasure after the call and I whacked him, making that the 7th team foul. My partner was a rookie and he ended up in front of the table while I was administering the free throws. I had to go explain to the coaches of Team A why they only shot two free throws AND had to tell the table several times that yes, both fouls count as team fouls and personal fouls for B20.

Clearly, you mean towards the individual foul total, but a technical foul can never count as a personal foul.

Yes, that's what I mean.

I wish I understood the logic behind this error that keeps getting made.

Wait, never mind. I don't wish that at all.

I guess he's right.




I guess he has too much time on his hands.

It is not often that one can find an error of such magnitude in the rules book. The missing rule is needed in just about every game!
