To T or not to T
 
GJV Team A up 3. Team B scores a 2 point bucket and has no TOs left. Clock runs out and buzzer sounds to end the game. A1 claps 5-7 times in B1s face before the crew leaves the floor.

You see this, how do you handle it? I know what the rule says I'm interested in your opinion.

Stupid play; I'm calling it and dealing with the ramifications accordingly. That's taunting.

Now, the odds of me seeing it are prohibitively small.

Immediate T. No need to think about this one.

Report far away from the table because the Team A coach is going to be livid.

Yeah... If you think the act was clearly taunting... you can call a technical foul. Given that it was a HS game I would probably do it since sportsmanship is/should be paramount in HS athletics.

I try not to hang around after the horn sounds to avoid situations like this... but if it happened so close to the expiration of time then get her.

Nope, it's not.

Some people have to learn the hard way. How about that assistant coach in Illinois last month?

If it's in front of me as I'm leaving, I'm going to call it.

Because I'm jogging off the court immediately, there's a good chance I won't see it.

You don't call it and then B1 retaliates with a big ole b____ slap, all hell breaks loose, then watcha got? Maybe the lawsuit no one wants to talk about in another thread!

A lawsuit for something you do not see? I doubt that. I know people want to assume everything is up for legal issues, but it is not known standard that officials get off the court or field after a game was over. And just for the record this is not totally uncommon. There was a fight in a college football game where officials immediately after the game and I have not heard a thing of a lawsuit. We are not responsible for everything that happens. We could give a T and they still fight, so what is the lawsuit going to prove?

Peace
