Technical Fouls
 

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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...

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

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

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.

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!
