Official Attacked

[Welpe]

You would not issue at least one technical foul for assaulting the official? I find that to be rather interesting.

I understand where you're coming from, but you've given a flagrant, he's gone. Let the law deal with him on assault, you've done what you can, you tossed him. I doubt anyone would have a problem with your technicals, but I just don't really see their point. There is nothing in high school that says you can't assess additional penalties after a player is thrown. In the NBA, you've got a flagrant 1 (basically the same as a hs intentional) on the first foul, then a flagrant T. Nothing else could be assessed after he's ejected. High school doesn't say you can't, neither does it say you should.

I would. I've issued a flagrant to an already DQ'd player before. And in this case, you wouldn't have to worry about any indirects because all the action occurred before the player could be notified he was DQd.

The more I think about this, there's no way I'd continue this game under any circumstance. There's a police report to fill out.

The player becomes bench personnel when the coach is notified not when the player is notified. Also on the video it seems like the official notified the player immediately after the foul was called which caused him to attack the official.

Assuming for a moment that you're going to continue the game...

Would it benefit the game to assess additional Ts? I don't see how it would. Would the other team feel unfairly treated if you don't? I don't think they would. Would an indirect to the coach really be warranted, or useful? I don't think so.

What happened after the T was not only clearly outside the spirit and intent of the rules, but also outside the scope of the rules. There will be additional penalties, but they will come from authorities whose scope includes the kid's behavior.

Bottom line, IMHO if you're going to continue the game, administer what has been assessed and move on.
