Player Steps on Other Player
Had this in the final minutes of an intramural game that had gotten out of hand. Player got on his hands on knees in lane and his teammate stepped on his back and launched off of it to dunk.
I whistled the GAME dead at that point, but is there technically a problem with that? |
Technical foul
10-3-6e: A player shall not commit an unsporting foul. This includes acts such as climbing on or lifting a teammate to secure greater height. |
10-3 Player Technical
A player shall not: Art. 6...Commit an unsporting foul. This includes, but is not limited to acts or conduct such as: e. Climbing on or lifting a teammate to secure greater height. Penalty: (Section 3) Two free throws plus ball for division-line throw-in. |
If you really wanted to be tough on it, call the T on both of them, one for climbing, the other for lifting.
|
Would there be a T handed to both players?

Camron: The play in the OP is my play from years ago in a boys' 16U game in the NW Ohio Regional of the now defunct Ohio Sports Festival. It was late in the game and Team A was getting its head handed to the on a platter when A1 (dunker) and A2 did exactly what the players did in the OP. I whacked both players for NFHS R10-S3-A6e and then I whacked A1 for dunking a dead ball, :D. MTD, Sr. |

If you're going for one T, who are you charging it to? |

2) I never had or seen this play but.....whenever there's a choice to be made between 2 players as to who should get the foul, I always give it to the shorter player. But that's just me....(heeheeheehee) |

APG: JR is correct about only charging one TF in this play. The play I had was during the NW Regional of the Ohio Sports Festival in which the competition was not better than H.S. CYO basketball. I stretched the interpretation of the rule because of the level of competition and because I had had enough of Team A's nonsense throughout of the game. Besides it makes a great war story. MTD, Sr. P.S. I put this type of play in the Barking Dog category. |
It's like when the entire bench rises to complain about a call. The best response is 1 T because it's a single act.

I'm just a little surprised though that you got here before your slightly shorter little friend from the other side of the continent. Of course, he might be busy re-reading all of those articles in the Bah-ston papers about his Bo-Sox just having won the 2011 World Series. |
I think these girls learned there lesson and wont try to dunk again:
