If a official counts the basket and gives the player a technical foul, be sure that he or she wouldn't be invited back to that school to officiate another contest
You're counting the basket? I'm reading that to mean that it didn't go in. What is the rule that allows this?
And, if it did go in, of course you would count it. But, now if you don't give the T you're allowing an illegal act to go unpunished. When it happens at the other end in a slightly different circumstance, will you ignore it then as well?
