After the 1st half buzzer.

[RogersUmp]

I saw this at a 5th grade/11U girls game this last weekend. Player A1 brings the ball aross halfcourt and desperately tries to launch a shot before the clock runs out but her shot is clearly a second or two after the buzzer. In the act of shooting Player B1 hip-checks Player A1 into a heap on the floor. One official said he saw nothing and the other said it was after the buzzer, I have nothing.

What is the correct call? Do you consider ejecting B1 for unsportsman-like conduct? Is there a foul if it's a) after the 1st half buzzer b)end of game?

Contact during a dead ball should be ignored unless it's considered to be intentional or flagrant. It would have to be a technical foul NOT personal. That being said, unsporting alone does not mean ejection.
The situation you describe is completely up to the judgement of the officials.

So, Ch1town, you're saying it's ok to rough a player up a little as long as it's after the buzzer? No one is at a disadvantage here since it is a dead ball?

I said no such thing...

Your comment leads me to believe you allow hip-checking that knocks someone to the floor in basketball. Silly me, I thought that was only in boys hockey!

I was looking for an officials read on the sitch.

Yes, silly you, he is quoting what the rule book says, which is the contact should be ignored unless it is intentional or flagrant.

There must be an echo in my building. My Vice President for Academic Affairs just said that this morning!

The first question is not at all what he said. The second is true -- aadvantage / disadvantage won't apply here.

If the contact meets the definition of an intentional or a flagrant foul, then it should be called an intentional or a flagrant techincal foul. If it doesn't meet that definition, then it's not a foul.

Are you looking for an answer to your original question or are you looking for validation of your opinion?

There is a phrase that goes something like this :
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

RogersUmp, I will save you the trouble of your next post by writing it for you:

So, SamIAm, you're saying "You can show words to a jacka$$, but you can't make him understand."

Then my next post will be:

YES!

It appears he is looking to debate what he/she thinks rather than actually reading the answers.
