Twitter.....tweet, tweet, whack?
 

I get a local writer's Twitter feeds as he usually broadcasts scores in the area. I'll even send him the score of my game occasionally if he doesn't already have it. Here's one I got on a girls' playoff game last night:

"...after drawing a technical foul for having an earing in her ear, scores six staight and Monroe leads 28-20 at the half."

Hopefully, the T was for something else and the tweeter simply misunderstood.

If I was a betting man, however...

Are you saying, Rich, that someone assigned a playoff game in your locale would likely not know that particular rule?

I've been reading the tweets and I'm not the only official that sent a message on. It appears the technical was applied for the earring. As to your other question, I have no comment.

Maybe she said something on her way to the bench...

I'd hate to think that we didn't handle it during warm ups, then compounded it by making up rules.

Wondering if a partner got with him?

That Guy sure gets around.

Maybe she took it out and then purposely reinserted it sneakily and reentered the game....... :eek:

Yeah, that's the ticket!

I had a partner, who is now our VP in our association, who "T"ed up a player for ear rings. His logic was " I asked the coach if all her players were properly equiped."

Whoops. Maybe one of the resident historians could check to see if this was *ever* a technical foul?

^ Perhaps 2 different players had dunked during warm ups & he didnt want to run the coach...

Perhaps he was simply applauding during warmups...

Forgot to add the :D

As always, I'd like to hear the official's story before passing judgment.
