Technical Fouls

[fortmoney]

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.

4 for me. One Double for squaring off after a held ball (MS girls), one for reaching across and hitting the ball in the thrower's hand (6th grade YMCA), and last night's admin T for having the wrong number in the book (JV Boys).

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.

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.

Obviously that is not true, because when they are given everyone focuses on them. You should call them like any other foul with little emotion, but we all know the players, coaches and fans do not look at them like any other. Like I said before I had to write up a school for their actions that were inappropriate earlier this year. What do you think they talked about in their response? Yes the Ts that were given to them, not the block-charge call that went against them in that game.

Doesn't that mean you are keeping track?
