Technical Fouls

[icallfouls]

The season is basically one-third of the way complete. Thought it might be fun to find out how many TF's you have called thus far.


I have had 8 (6 HS, 2 college) through 34 games, with 1 of those being assessed to a HC.


Any interesting stories that you care to share about the calls?

1.

[bob jenkins]

1 coach, plus 1 for "running under the basket to take the court"

[jTheUmp]

4. All on players. 3 of them came in a single 8th grade girls game.

[Welpe]

Three unsporting technicals on players, none on coaches. District play is in full swing so we'll see how it shakes out.

[TwoDot]

Only one for me, when the coach offered his glasses to me. Easy!

[Rich]

3 coaches (including one juco assistant who made it really easy). Partner had a technical on a head coach this week.

26 games thus far.

[bainsey]

Two. One was varsity boys, f-bomb.

The other, middle school girls, was reaching through the plane and touching the ball on a throw-in. Small court, only 9-10 inches of OOB space behind both end lines, so the entire court has a three-foot line which serves as the plane. (No other court in this area has this feature.) Of course, a visiting player committed the foul.

1 in ~20 games. Team Technical, wrong numbers in book,

I wanted to give 1 in an 8th grade girls game, but my partner got to the coach first and warned her.

47

Ok, that may be a little high.

3

1 excessive timeout, 1 coach, 1 player

[Smitty]

None until last night in my first middle school games of the season.

Called 3T's in the same 7th grade B game. Total cluster...working with a first year official who was afraid to blow the whistle. Also had 2 kids go out of the game because they were bleeding. Good times...

[JRutledge]

I think 3? Two in HS and 1 in college(JUCO).

Do not keep track very well as I do not put much stock in these calls. BTW, this does not include a uniform T that I was apart of but may not have actually been the "calling official."

Peace

[VaTerp]

3 Player Ts for taunting/unsporting
1 Bench T for ABS/excessive chirping
1 Admin T for changing number in book

[rockyroad]

1. Player T for yelling "Bullsh!t" after my partner calls a foul on him...

As we were leaving the locker room after the game, the Coach stops us and tries to argue with us that his player never swore..."He's a good Mormon kid, and he's in there crying right now because you said he swore."

Just said "Ok, thanks Coach" and kept walking.

[SCalScoreKeeper]

1 delay of game warning T (breaking the plane after being warned)
1 admin T for changing a number in book after submitted
3 player T's (2 in a double technical during a boys game I worked last night and 1 during a varsity girls tournament)

Last night was my 41'st game of the season!
