Technical Foul--Overtime

[steppe22]

They were more than a few feet on the floor. Half the bench and one of the assistant coaches came off the bench. I read the link that SAJ provided about a similar situation. Some refs agreed in calling the technical and others didn't. I believe in using common sense, however, what Team A did was a technical according to the rulebook. I have no problem that it was called but in which the manner that it happened. You call it right after it happened not as one person said earlier "retroactively." It was a hard pill to swallow for Team A but it was their own fault.
There is video of the entire game. Here is the link:

watch the video and decide for yourself.

Why? Is there something you left out of the situation? I'm not going to watch 90 minutes of video just so I can second guess the officials on the court.

[just another ref]

I watched the part in question, and I think the officials got the right call, but they really reached it in a roundabout way. .4 left, and half the bench ran out in the middle of the floor immediately after the last free throw. They have no complaint.

But, apparently the coach prompted one official, who in turn, questioned/prompted the other before the call was reached.

Apparently the first official somehow didn't see the extra players on the floor?
If this was the case, it is questionable how he was drawn into enough of a conversation after the horn to even know what she was complaining about.

You don't even want to sneek a little peek.

Took me about 30 seconds to get where I needed to go.

I like giving T's. Thats one I even wouldn't want to give ,but I would.

So what was the lead's delay in doing *anything* there? I mean, the official knows the clock situation, you see half the team on the court getting in the way, and yet.........stand there......do nothing.......until someone complains.

A brain fart ? Not wanting to make "that" call in that situation.

I would definetly like to ask her about the call or lack of one. Anyone got her number ?
