Why was I thinking there's a case play or interp that says we don't call this unless we catch it after the ball has been inbounded?

Because most times if we catch it before the thrower-in releases the ball we kill the play and fix it even though technically we should call a technical when the ball is at their disposal.

That's probably it.

Help me out here. If I see 6 on the floor before I give the thrower the ball, then I don't call the technical. Tell coach 6 on the floor. Problem fixed. If the ball is live (thrower has the ball) I do call the technical. Is this correct?

Per the rules, yes.

Yes.

You're thinking of the time frame to correct giving the ball to the incorrect team.

I've had weeks like this...
 

Seems like he's had some good seasons prior to this one, seems odd to can him now.

Interesting that the extra guy (the one who wasn't guarded in their man-to-man scheme) wasn't even involved in the play.

He was a decoy. :D

Just for good measure.....
 

When ESPN shows the clip they count and number all the players the entire time on the screen.........bizarre.

I'm double checking all the time tonight! ;)

looks to me like he got in position to dunk a potential miss, then busted his butt to get back on defense...

I'll be sure to make this part of my pre-game tonight..."U1-you count home team before every throw in... U2- You count visitors"
