Think about this case. A team is ahead by 5 points with 12.3 seconds left. One of their players gets fouled intentionally. In addition, the opponent holds on to the player long enough to get charged with a technical foul. The opponent continues to pull and twists the player to the ground resulting in a second technical.

Due to the melee that follows THIS SPORTSMANSHIP (by the way, if you watch the whole tape, you will see the kids from both teams conducting themselves just fine), the team goes from being ahead by what should have been 10 points (the players made 5 of the first 6 FTs resulting from the intentional and two Technical fouls) 61-51 to LOSING 68 - 62 because of a GROSS misapplication of rules by the the official.

If such a case would happen in our State -- which also follows the NF rules on protests -- I would hope the OHSAA would step in without a protest being required to right this gross mistake.
