Reggie was incorrect about the kick in the head because it did happen because of the other stuff going on, but I do agree that this shouldn't be a technical. I see stuff in regular season games all season like this that isn't penalized.

And the NCAA tells their officials to penalize this stuff. So you are right it probably happens during the regular season, but the NCAA is hiring the officials in the tournament, not the conferences or tournament assignors that have little accountability to what the NCAA wants. I know John Adams has addressed this in bulletins over the years. That is why players and coaches have to know the rules and what could get them in trouble. And it is also likely they have not seen the particular officials that made this call during the year early in the tournament.

Am I the only one who thinks this T could have been avoided if the official were a little more proactive? Seems like the calling official could have stepped in to prevent any action that would require a T. It was a hard foul that left the player on the floor. I was taught that on those types of plays, close down immediatly to prevent any escallation. The calling official seemed to just hold his call there while several players converged after whistle.

After failing to do this however, I guess the T makes sense.
