Question about a situation

B2 is shooting free throws. B1 and B3 refuse to line up in an appropriate position. (they do this to get under my skin...) B1 again makes a direct verbal attack on me, I give him his second Technical, and he is ejected. The game has fallen apart. B3 continues his illegal position for free throws.

Nathan,

First, welcome to the board. Glad to have you.

Second, I'm also glad that you assessed the technical fouls for inappropriate comments. Too many first year guys are gunshy about giving technical fouls and just take the abuse, which they shouldn't have to do.

Third, to address your specific situation, what was wrong with the the positions of B1 and B3? If team B is shooting FTs, then Team A must occupy the lowest spaces, but the player from Team B who must be in a certain place is the shooter. Where were B1 and B3 standing? Unless they were outside the arc and below the FT line extended, they're fine.

Sorry to hear your game was so lousy. But they'll get better
