DOG Technical Foul??

[Loudwhistle]

This should also have been a T.

Bob,
This T also counts as the first delay of game as well? In other words, later in the game a player reaches through the plane on a throw in contacting nothing this would result in a T.

You are correct. Call the T, have the scorer record the DOG in the book. Then tell the coach, "Yes, coach, normally you'd be right. It would have just been a warning if your player hadn't actually slapped the ball."

If you were the partner of the calling Official would you just discuss this at half or after game or step in and make correction? I did not know the ball was actually contacted when he gave the DOG warning but I wanted to step in on the technical foul for not coming out of the huddle, but being a newer Official I did nothing.

If it's a rules issue and a break in the action, we should always try to get it right rather than bringing it back to the locker room.

If you're younger / newer /not sure, you could use a phrase like, "Are you sure..." or "I thought ..." or even "what do you have?" -- sometime when the person is asked to explain it, they realize the error.

I'm not sure I'd step in here, but I anticipate the word of those with more experience than I.

Newbies - carve this into your forehead (backwards, so you can read it in a mirror). When you give out a technical for a defensive player reaching across the line and contacting the ball before it is released toward the court, it's also a DOG warning. If it's the first of the game against that team and they get another one for just reaching across the line (or any other DOG warning) then that's the second one and it's a team technical.

Be sure to make the letters small enough so they all fit.

If instead of hitting the ball the defender reached across the line and hit the arm would the intentional foul call that resulted also be a DOG warning?

Yep.
