Flagrant foul?
Is unsporting dead ball contact automatically a flagrant foul, hence ejection? Or can it be ruled an unsporting technical, hence no ejection?
Girls game yesterday (13-14 travel teams). Blow the whistle for held ball. Both girls are tussling for the ball and both seem to stop on the whistle. But then A1 gives a firm push with the shoulder and elbow to B1, as if to say "get off me." Its a hard enough push that I cannot ingore, but it's not "violent, vulgar, persistent, savage or abusive, " as it says in the rule book. I give A1 technical, but no ejection. Is that acceptable? |

If you deem the contact to be intentional, but not flagrant, then you penalize with an intentional technical foul instead of a flagrant technical foul. If you aren't familiar with the term intentional technical foul, learn it now. Don't let the jargon intimidate you, it simply means that there was intentional contact during a dead ball as opposed to flagrant contact. Under NFHS rules, it's administered just as any other technical foul--2 shots and the ball at the division line. PS Unsporting technical fouls are for non-contact situations as the NFHS defines an unsporting foul as a non-contact foul. Therefore, verbal comments or inappropriate gestures would fall within this category. |

Very acceptable. A flagrant in this case would be an incorrect call.

P was an official who has been at it many, many more years than me (hence my refering to him as experienced). he was an IAABO patched official from a board in a border state, and by his own admission in our pre-game he's at that stage of winding his career down these past few seasons and just does lower level games and has not been as diligent at keeping current on rules/interps. I always look forward to working with refs who have earned the patch, and try to listen and learn from them, and I always treat them with the respect that I feel they deserve having achieved something that I'm working hard to attain...board status. I learned early on from this Forum that as a newbie that when I work with or get observed by veteran officials to 1) ask good,pertinent questions of them that will help my game 2) LISTEN more than talk 3) OBSERVE 4) take the information that's correct and useful to me...work into my game and disregard the stuff that isn't. Bottom line here is that at this point in my season I should have known the right rule application for the sitch....I did on paper but I choked on the court. That's not my P's fault. Who knows, maybe he wanted to see if the other HC was going to complain and wanted to see how I'd handle it on my own...and would have stepped in to help if he saw me about to "drown". Anyway...I learned from it, which as I've also learned on this forum is the most importamt thing in developing as an official. |

Right or wrong, during my captains meetings in G games I always, always tell them "when the whistle blows, stop wrestling." (no snide comments Mark) Now, I know the captains won't share that information, but my experience has been that girls have more on the ground free-for-alls for the ball than the boys. Just my experience.
