That should NEVER happen. I have been told in camp more than a dozen times, "the ball will find you." GREAT piece of advice. As for the player who shot. I have no problem with a warning here, but to each his own.

Fast forward to the end of the game. There's about 45 seconds left, A down by 3 and they convert a fast break. While pressuring the inbounder, A3 reaches across the plane with both hands hindering B1 from moving along the baseline. I hit my whistle and call DOG #2 on A. Since this is a technical, I administer 2 free throws and my partner gives the ball to B at the time line. Good. 2nd DOG doesn't get a second warning. They get the "T". As Snaq said . . . if there was contact on the player - Intentional Foul . . . on the ball - Technical.

The last part really has nothing to do with the situation but A is down by 3 with 15 seconds left, gets down the court and with B2 standing perfectly straight up, A1 decides to jump into him while attempting a 3 pointer. Team A, their coach and fans are screaming for a foul as B3 grabs the air ball and dribbles out the clock. Can't fix stupid. Of course, you could call a PCF and send it the other way. Sounds like a good NO CALL.

After the game I called one of my friends who is a long time official and officiates high school and small college basketball in the area. He said the only thing he might do different is since it was a 1 point game is hit the whistle after A crossed the plane and tell them to not do that. May work for him, but he certainly cannot justify that action based on the rules. I would disagree with this official.I believe that would give A an advantage in 2 ways, first it would stop the clock, 2nd it would give them a chance to set up their defense.

I'm curious as to what people's thoughts are on this situation.
Those are my thoughts.
