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.

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.

[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.

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.

Wow. You guys are tough. We've been advised, at least locally, to warn, and to report it to our assignment commissioner who is our liaison with the state interscholastic sports governing body.

Had an entertaining set of technicals the other night in a BV game. Player yells the fword after being called for a foul. T, then after ref heads to table, same player turns to fans who are saying something to him and flips them off. Tweet, second T, he's gone and in Alaska the state rule is they have a one game suspension, so he can't play in the next game. Turns out the player is the JV coaches son. That coach was a minor pain in the arse in the previous game. Wonder why the son would act like that?

UPDATE: Same kid last night received two technicals again in a varsity game in his home town!! Wonder how long he'll be on the team!

Went from 3 to 6 in just one game.

MS boys tournament - 7th grade boys. 1st game each team had at least 3 adults on the bench Coaches were told in pregame meeting only the head coaches can stand - others have to stay seated. By end of 1st quarter both benches had been warned again that assistants couldn't stand.

T#1 - Middle of Q2, as we're coming down the court home AC stands up right in front of me and screams about PC foul on the other end. Whack!
T#2 - HC questions the T call an AC and I tell him both teams had already been warned repeatedly. I told him it was also an indirect on him and that he no longer could use the coaching box and had to sit as well. HC looks straight at me and says "That's f***ing ridiculous." - Whack!

Now we're in a situation where if HC offends again he's gone and if AC offends again they're both gone. Fortunately they behaved the rest of the game.

T#3 - Late in Q3 my partner calls a PC foul on H31. H10 has the ball and when I ask him for it he glares at me and throws it about half way to the ceiling in the other direction - Whack!

Early in the 4th my partner rung up the visiting AC when he decided to stand up and get vocal.

Four T's in one game - fortunately the 2nd game was much better and we had no problems at all.

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.
