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

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.

I have a request. Please stop referring to POI as part of the penalty for personal fouls. The penalty is a throwin at the disignated OOB spot nearest the foul (except for double fouls, shooting fouls, and common fouls committed when the bonus is in effect.) POI (Point of interruption) is a completely different animal.
