From 1/5/10 bulletin from Ed Bilik:

When a delay by a jubilant follower(s) or bench personnel before player activity has been terminated does not
prevent the ball from being put in play promptly or does not interfere with continuous play, the delay shall be
ignored, order shall be restored and play shall be resumed

If you watch the tape, Oregon did not make any attempt to inbound the ball prior to the whistle for the technical foul.

I don't take anything here as disrespectful, but I appreciate the gesture.

Did this bulletin claim elsewhere that the officials were incorrect? I did watch the tape, and you'll see one OR player start running to get in position to take a throw-in pass. They were not going to call time out. I did notice the player with the ball didn't run to throw it in, but it could be for any variety of reasons.

The fact is, unless they request a TO, he has a short time to get the ball in play. There were too many players on the court at this point, and the resulting confusion explains the hesitation, IMO.

Again, if the bulletin claims the officials were not correct, fine. Otherwise, I stand by my opinion.
