Post Game "T"

[Blackhawk357]

This happened to me after a Double Overtime game on Feb,1 this year, final score was 103 to 96. Boys HS Varsity contest, 3-whistle crew. I will paste my report to the State Office below, with players' and team names deleted to protect the guilty.


"Immediately following the final horn, and prior to the officiating crew leaving the floor, a Team A player was approaching his own basket as an airborne shooter. Player B1 of Team B moved toward the airborne player and with both hands pushed said player in a flagrant manner, throwing him violently into the padded wall behind the basket.

As referee, I made sure that players were separated, crowd control was alert, and assembled the crew to assess the situation. After a brief officials’ conference, I went to the scorers’ table and directed the scorer to enter a flagrant technical foul in the official book for B1. Had there been any time left, this would have warranted and ejection. I then caught the Team B head coach, Coach B on his way to the locker room, and explained the situation and consequences to him. He was most receptive and cooperative during our conversation."

Ever happen to anyone else?
Any comments on how we handled it?
