Technical Fouls

[Scuba_ref]

I have only had 47 games so far this year (3 JUCO).

Just one T on coach for overt disagreement with some darn good officiating.

1. 1st boys game of the year, kid throws down a dunk and yells at the opponent....Coach asks the kid why did he do that...and gives him a seat.

2. Player slams the ball after I call her for an offensive foul....Coach: "What did she do?" Really Coach???

3. In my last game almost had an administrative but the lovely scorekeeper decided NOT to call us to the table until after the home player (who was not in the book) subbed out. Player NEVER came back in the game. Nice...

I know everybody refers to Techs as "whacks" here on the forums, but what do you guys think of this?

Rasheed Wallace Whack!

I knew I spoke too soon...

Tonight's freshman game fell apart in the 4th after the visitors started pulling away and the home team decided they didn't want to play the game anymore.

I personally called two intentional fouls and a technical on home team players. Not to mention the flagrant T I called on a visiting team player near the end of the game after he stormed off the court screaming F bombs at the top of his lungs in protest of a call he didn't like.

Nearly stuck the home head coach too but he backed off the ledge of insanity.

I knew I should not have responded to this thread in the first place. I added one today. Got a player after about the 4th or 5th time I had told players to stop. Oh well, one of the least enjoyable games of the season.

Peace

Only 1 for me so far this season. Administrative T for adding a player to the book after the game had started. I only remember it becuase the offending team was from Australia and had a 7'2" center. Kid was only 16 too

I had an admin T too for changing a number in the scorebook. Forgot about that one.

First T last night. HC for ABS.
2 things:
1 - how about letting me call the travels.
2 - don't question my ethics.

Game got better after the T. Or at least quieter.

Is that near the Cliffs of Insanity?

I think I have issued 6 or 7. 1 was an admin for a wrong number. Another was a guy jumping up and grabbing the rim when nobody was around him and another player had already shot and scored. The others were player unsporting fouls for language and one ball slam in my direction. And, of course, the ABS T on a coach early in the season.

[constable]

Aren't technical fouls suppose to be like any other foul? If that's the case do you count how many holds or blocks you've called already this year?

I've called a few. I've passed on a few. I was doing one game where one kid alone got three himself.

I don't really keep track.

And one more tonight. AC. MS girls.

Well I whacked my first head coach last night during my freshman game.

The visiting team head coach had been working us throughout the first quarter and was starting to accumulate the ABS meter. He cooled for a while in the second quarter until I called a shooting foul on one of his players. During the first free throw, a visiting team player standing behind the shooter yells "I've got shooter!" just as the shooter is winding up for her shot which is missed. Based upon her reaction, I judge it to be disconcerting and call the violation.

He goes off declaring that his team is just communicating. I told him "They can communicate coach as long as it doesn't disconcert the shooter." Just as the shooter is taking her substitute throw, he growls "YOU need to read the rule book." I wait a beat for the shot to finish and then whack him.

He knew right away and when I told him he needed to sit, he just responded "Yeah I know."

My partner remarked before the fourth quarter "You know his girls are playing better since you T'd him up."

3 through 20 games. 2 unsporting coaches, 1 wrong number in book.
One of the coaches was offering his glasses to me - didn't need that, the other was about 10 feet on the floor complaining about a call he could see better from the other end of the court.

For the first time in 20 years of coaching, my team received T's for:
1.) 6 players on the court. 6th grade boys. I subbed a kid out, but he had wondered off to get a drink instead of staying in the team huddle, and the got himself on to the court without me or anyone else noticing. The game was playing and I kept thinking something didn't look right. *sigh* We then had a chat after the game about not going off to do your wown thing while the coach is talking.

2.) Player's number not in the book. We had to replace our 8th grade boys uniforms over Christmas due to shoddy workmanship, and apparently one of the boys requested a new number but no one bothered to relay that to me or the person who does our roster. *sigh*
