Delay to return, twice in 2 nights!

Excessive swinging of elbows with contact was NEVER a technical foul under NFHS rules.

Excessive swinging of elbows with contact was a personal foul of some type- player control, intentional or flagrant. Excessive swinging of elbows without contact was a technical foul.

I disagree, I think that it should be a T for a player who deceitfully delays his return to the court. My reasoning is that he did this intentionally.

Maybe, but going OOB to avoid a defender should be penalized the same. It's not consistent. I'm all for calling a T when it's deceitful. But I think running around the basket and coming in 20 feet from where you went out should be a simple violation.

Also, 99% of players and coaches don't know this is illegal.

I cannot totally disagree with you here.

Sorry, it was supposed to say WITHOUT contact. Yes, I know without contact was never a T. if you look at an earlier post in this thread you will see where I said without contact. I will fix the 2nd post now.
