This is more than a message its a question for the officials. At a game that I recently attended at a local ymca an official got into a altercation with a player. It began with the player calling out to one of the referees that he should call 3 seconds in the lane. The other official immediatly told the player that he had a technical foul and to sit down and "Shut up". Of course the player was a little upset about the way the officail spoke to him but he returned to his bench.( which I thought Was not a rule I thought that after the shots were made by the other team that the player could than re-enter the game and remain playing) He then began speaking with his other teammate about the incident. At that time the referee heard him speaking on the call and called a second technical foul and told him to leave the gym. The player was very upset at this time but remained in control. he did tell the referee no and became very vocal. He then began speaking with the director of the organization about his ejection from the gym. the game continued and the other team shot all four shots. the referee then stepped off the court,walked over to the players bench and head-butted the player causing the player two front teeth to be knocked out. blood was ru8nning down the player face and of course he retaliated with a right hook to the referee. My question is after this long story..... What are the rules and regulations of the officials in the game of basketball? Also isn't there a code of ethics and an oath that a referee must follow?
