As far as what the trail did NOT do? Are you guys serious? What else did the trail have to look at other than two kids who were pushing each other? The C called what the trail failed to call. That is all I'm saying and...hold on let me look at it for the 100th time...yep, the trail has a count and either looks right past this match-up to the ball or ignores it. There were three players...hold on let me look at it for the 101st time...yep, three players in the backcourt so the C really should have been focusing elsewhere.
The kid was dead wrong for what he did, BUT there are other things to consider in this video.

Tom, I'm answering from Pg3 so I may be repeating what someone else already said.
First, I agree the Trail should have had better eyes on this play. But that's where our agreements end.
When I'm the C on a made free throw I'm not releasing until the ball is inbounded. The initial shoving that occurred happened immediately after the throw-in and easily within the peripheral of the C's eyesight. And when the initial shoving occurred there were at least 5 players still in the backcourt, maybe even 6. So the C was properly covering the court on this play, IMO.
Also, there is no way the C pushed the player. The player jumped back as a reaction the Technical call.
Now, as far as you blaming the officials for what happened,
I missed those posts. Maybe someone could quote one of those posts for me since I can't find them.
