Technical for what?

[tref]

My whistle was for B34s act, had I known his whistle was for a phantom over the back call on A34, then mine would become a dead ball contact whistle... T.

You had to see this one Bob, we had bodies in the paint & attitudes due to the backing out of an airborne rebounder.

So, had L deferred to you in the OP, would you have had an intentional personal foul or a flagrant personal foul?

Upon closing down X was on my mind.

Well if he has an "over the back" foul & it wasnt on a try, the clock stops there, right?
Then the egregious act had to be on the dead ball, no? To me that sounds like a false double. In that situation the 2nd foul was during a dead ball... Intentional T or flagrant T.

You missed my point....

Assume the ball was not dead (no other foul called). Would you have then called the contact intentional/flagrant?

If not, then it was not intentional or flagrant. Contact doesn't become intentional just because the ball was dead if it wouldn't have been intentional/flagrant with the clock running. It is nothing.

Said another way, contact during a dead ball is ignored unless that contact was intentional/flagrant. The definition of intentional/flagrant doesn't change depending on the status of the ball (live/dead). The only thing that changes is that dead ball contact becomes a T, when the contact, on its own merits, is intentional/flagrant.

From your OP, It doesn't sound like you were even considering anything but a common foul until you realized your partner called it on the other player....if that is the case, it wasn't an intentional foul.

Camron, he did say he was considering the X as he closed down for his own call. That tells me it was at least borderline. I'm not saying T would have been the right call, the decision to go intentional would have to stand on its own aside from dead ball status. From there, you decide whether to ignore or T.

Only if it was after the "over the back." If it was the same, then it wasn't during the dead ball.

I acknowledge that it was most likely a HTBT type of situation, but this is opening up a can of worms that 9 times out of 10 is only going to make the situation worse for everybody involved. If you have two different personal fouls (which you did) and you can't talk your partner out of his (I hope you brought him "information" and told him what YOU had), then go to the table with the personal foul that happened first.

There is just nothing from a common sense stand point (again, I wasn't there) from the sound of this that needed to be punished with a dead ball contact technical foul which is what you're saying you wished you would have had. It was a basketball act (granted a stupid one) that was the second personal foul in a sequence, not a technical foul.

[tref]

I understand jhawk... as I originally stated he came off the endline with "I got it... I got it on 34." So there was nothing to talk him out of as we all had the same obvious foul that everyone in the gym saw, or so I thought

In hindsight, if his whistle was for a rebounding foul then all action after that was dead ball contact, no?

Let me paint a more vivid picture, imagine B34 just inside the RA, A34 (6'4")jumps up & over him with the rebound in hand. After purposely being backed out as far as one step below the FT line extended by a bent over B34 (bent over like all he can see is the floor--- no verticality whatsoever) A34 finally loses his balance (because B34 wont stop) & topples over B34 in the paint. They're both lying on the floor now.

Thats not a basketball play that I have seen.

Teaching points: Never assume what a partner has & dont call rebounding fouls from behind as lead.

It is a dead ball, sure, but if it has not been and you had made the only call, would have have called an intentional foul on B34? If not, then it doesn't become one because the ball happened to be dead. As such, you can't have a T. It is simply nothing.
