2 Technicals

[cmhjordan23]

Kid from Georgia has season end because of technicals.
Read the article. I remember the 2nd technical called in a similar situation in the NBA, but this HS.

I wouldn't have called a T unless we were mandated from the state to call this play as a T.

No it looks hard to do. That is why so many have time doing it.

T for unsporting and I wouldn't lose any sleep over it either, this is HS not the NBA.

looks a little extream to me. If i am seeing this correct, he gave him 2 t's. One i can see, but 2?

I found another news story on the game. I figured there was something going on between the teams...

"The second technical was whistled after a Mann fast break dunk against Norcross standout Chris Bolden, who was one of the top players on the Norcross team that upset Milton in last year's championship game.
After the dunk, Mann glared at Bolden, who had been engaging in two-way trash talk with Milton players during the game."

Seems unwarranted to me, particularly for a 2nd T. And from the description in the linked article, it sounded like the first T was given for a live ball contact foul during a throwin....so that may have been incorrectly called but it is hard to say from the description.

Based on video, there must be more. I have zero here. Game is not about me.

There has to be something leading up to this.

I agree. I also would have liked to see the player's reaction to his antics. I think it could have been part of the reason the call was made.

Looks like that's pretty much what he did.

I was trying to find video of the game to see that play. It was supposed to have been webcast but it looks like the 'cast never happened.

Given the trash talk aspect of the other article I posted Mann and the kid from the other team must've made contact with each other before the officials put the ball at the disposal of the thrower. Of course, there's always the chance the officials handed out the double T incorrectly but I want to give them the benefit of the doubt without video available.
