Ah, I see that now. Thanks. This thread is confusing me. :D

You state you would inbound the ball under the basket. Why?

Flagrant and intentional fouls are at POI. Only technical fouls are at division line.

Edit: Read 7.5.4b and 7.5.6a

Yes, it's laughably bad.

representing needs to step back and try to understand how many rules he's missed in this one scenario:

(1) It would be a flagrant technical foul. It's still a technical, so the throw-in is at the division line.

(2) Since the coach hadn't been notified of the player's 5th foul, he's not bench personnel at the time of the flagrant technical, so the coach does not receive an indirect technical foul.

We ran into a parent in the parking lot who seemed to be waiting for us. He was quite complimentary, even though his kid's team lost by 18 points -- he was amazed at how much "stress" we must be under. I actually laughed and said that I probably feel the least stress of anyone out there.

Oh dear.

Edit: 7-5-4 b. has nothing to do with this play.

(And just as an FYI, the appropriate way to reference rules is with dashes, periods are for casebook plays. It helps keep everyone on the same page.)

Oh, really? I thought Flagrant technical and personal fouls were all still under the classification of Flagrant, which would put the ball at POI. Thanks for correcting me. But I can't find anything in the book about the difference between flagrant personal and flagrant technical.

EDIT: I said I was wrong about number 2 in my post about the situation. YOU should read everything, so you wouldn't make a statement like that.

thanks for the fyi.

4-19-4

Thank you for the laugh.

Summary:

• Official is bumped after calling foul, but before reporting
• Foul was player's 5th
• Official does nothing
• Official posts situation on website
• Official gets responses, but doesn't receive them well
• Official says he handles situations even though he didn't
• Official posts what he would have done with glaring rules application errors
• Official admits errors in what he would have done, but not all errors
• (Hopefully) official takes every bit of advice given to include reading the rule book for comprehension

Any type of technical foul is a technical foul for administration purposes. It means that any player may attempt the free throws, and the ball is put into play at the division line.

A flagrant foul is simply a special type of a personal foul or technical foul. You'll note in 7.5.4 b. that it references a flagrant personal foul only.

So it would be flagrant technical because the contact occurred during dead-ball. I got it now. Thanks TJ.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.

I feel like I am piling on. But...no...contact between a player and an official is not "live ball contact" the way you are suggesting. It does not matter if the ball is live or dead...if a player intentionally contacts an official, it is a technical foul (10-3-7a) and in your situation, I would also deem it a flagrant foul.

Actually it is 10-3-6a what you're talking about, but thanks for the reference.

All fouls are either Personal or Technical.

They *might* also have an additional qualifer -- common, flagrant, intentional, double, etc.

The penalty for a single T includes a throw-in at the division line. IF there's a throw-in for a P, it's near the spot of the foul.

And, there's no POI for any single foul, flagrant or not.
