Your continued and incorrect assertion in the face of near-universal instruction to the contrary is one reason that many esteemed posters regard you as a know-it-all and unteachable.

Let me take a stab at this one. You would not have T'd the guy had you known he was table crew and not AC. Okay, fine, we all buy that. But he was on the court to check on the player, momentarily affiliated with that team if you will. This would make the technical foul acceptable to some.
But forget about all that. Suppose the guy who made the snide remarks was simply an innocent bystander, a coach of some other team scouting, someone who undeniably was not associated with either team, but you didn't know all that and T'd him anyway. This is no different than if you called a T on A1 for saying "The ref sucks," and later learned that in fact B1 was the one who said it. This is a bad mistake, sure, but a mistake is all it is. It is not a correctable error. These were not unmerited free throws. When a technical is called, free throws are merited. Swallow it. Remember it and learn to be not so quick on the trigger if you're not sure of all the facts, and move on.

2) Guys like me? Go back and read every post in this thread and see if you can find a "guy like you". Nobody here agreed with the way you handled the situation. Nobody! The only one that you can find to agree with you is some mystical, un-named rules interpreter. And btw, I also went back and reviewed my posts to you and I can't see anywhere that I advocated that you hang up your whistle. I did state that you have one helluva lot to learn. I'll stand by that statement. 3) Boolsh!t. |

And no, he doesn't have any backing on this by the rules as it doesn't fall under any of the 5 correctable errors. |

What do you guys think? I would hate for a kid to foul out when theoretically he would probably be fouling out and not fouling period (flopping without contact). So I was thinking, a "3 strikes and you're out" moment... Warn and two chances to clean it up with just a simple foul. |

But I prefer a warning. Just last week, I had a kid pull this. I was C, and as we were heading the other way I go this attention and told him not to do it again. He pretended he didn't know what I was talking about, but he didn't do it again. If, after one warning, he does it again, ring him up. It'll stop.

The rulebook ain't one of them.

True, but the rule book doesn't advocate using advantage to determine palming or three seconds; nor does it advocate taking 15 seconds to get to 10 on free throw.
There are other regional practices not explicitly allowed by rule, either.

Good point, but all these thing involve varying degrees of ignoring things that happened. Calling something that didn't happen, imo, is considerably more serious.
