Having seen that Mayo video, those "allegations" were not "supported by video evidence.". What a joke.

The best part of the OJ Mayo saga was that his one year of playing H.S. basketball in West Virginia was his fifth year of playing H.S. basketball.

Mayo was living Kentucky when he played one year for his high school's varsity basketball team while still in jr. high school which is permitted in Kentucky. The next year he moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, and enrolled as a freshmen in a high school in Cincinnati, where he played varsity basketball for three years. The OhioHSAA ruled him ineligible to play his senior year because he had used up his eight semesters of high school eligiblity (two in Kentucky and six in Ohio). He then moved to West Virginia, where the West VirginiaHSAA ruled that he had two more semesters of eligiblity left. I guess they use that "new fangled math" in West Virginia.

This is taunting. The player gave the stare and postured up. However, is it enough for a T?
I would have to get a feel for the game before I say if this was justified. However, you need to be aware of who has a technical foul. I have been told by mentors and supervisors that the second T better be indisputable, and this one is debatable. As a first T I would not mind this. But a second, in playoffs, I would be looking to avoid this.
If the game goes into a brawl this kind of play would be scrutinized as not being called. If the official was seeing the game game getting out of hand then I can justify the call.
Most importantly what the hell is this kid doing? He already has a T and he is trying to show up the other team. Just get back on D!

What would you say to the player if you are saying there are ways to avoid calling the T?

Not only did the kid catch the ball and put it to the floor, he then "kicked" it off to the side. I honestly believe that the "kick" was inadvertent, but I wonder if that might have something to do with the T also? Were there DOG warnings given earlier? So much we don't know from this short clip.
