'T' not warranted???

And if his partner dunked during this time, he could penalize his partner with a technical foul, hell, make it a flagrant technical foul, and sit him down too. Then he'd be left alone to work the game, and make as many crazy calls as he wanted to.

if he assessed his partner with a Technical, does that mean that he gets to shoot the free throws? or since it's usually refs v. crowd, does an upstanding citizen from the peanut gallery get to shoot the throws? that'd make for an entertaining score on the evening news:

home 42 visitor 33

crowd 2 refs 0 (unless you're counting correct calls as points and bad calls as negative points, in which case its probably refs 53 crowd -200)

So, what do you do when, during pregame warmups for the JV game, one of the players dunks? Then, you find, that he's not in the book because he's a varsity player just screwing around.

It's been discussed here ad nauseum -- with passionate arguments on both sides.

Personally, if it's clear that he's not a JV player, then just get him off the court. If you think the coach is trying to pull a fast one, issue the T.

How I hate non-player situations like this. Had a boys reserve game one night where I observed a player warming up with earrings. During captains' meeting, I emphasized no jewelry (he wasn't a captain), yet when the teams went to huddle before the tip-off, he still had the earrings in. I went over to him, and told him to get rid of the earrings. He said, I'm not playing, and when I looked at his outfit compared to the others, I realized he wasn't kidding me. What made me think he was a player, he had the same warmup shirt on. Jeez.

What fast one will the coach be trying to pull?

If one of his players dunks prior to when the book is filled out, for example, and the coach wants to avoid the T, he can leave said player out of the lineup.

He can then have him added to the book later, but this time it's a team T only; nothing to the player or coach. Coach can also time this so that it only costs him two free throws.

This point is debatable.

There is a simple way to put a stop to that.

Charge both the team T when the name is entered later AND a direct technical foul to the Head Coach for unsporting behavior.

Of course the coach will then get a direct technical foul for trying to avoid the first technical.
