T or no T

[hoopguy]

Was the act of deliberately placing the ball on the floor away from the official and walking away from it ever an automatic technical anywhere? I seem to remember reading this as a case or poe somewhere but do not see it in NFHS books I can find. I believe I saw this somewhere but can't find it. Since I can't find it I may just be wrong but was it ever in old NFHS books or college or even NBA?

As far as video being T worthy. Hopefully, I would T the player up for deliberately setting the ball down away from the referrees but if I told the player to go get me the ball and she kicked it in the way of the video then that act would be a T.

I don't think you'll find anything that says this act is an "automatic" T.

I didn't say I would make something up. but she does have my attention, and I would not pass on anything involving her.

"Even referees and officials can do a better job, Mano said.

Watch any college basketball game, and odds are you'll see a coach not only stalking the sideline but coming onto the floor to protest a call. That's a violation, Mano said, yet it's almost never called.

It may not seem like much. But add up all the little transgressions that have been overlooked or excused, and sports now has a big problem."

This is the point and what anyone who doesn't issue a technical foul to this player is failing to understand. Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
Help your fellow officials by insisting upon good sporting behavior and penalize those who don't display such.

Then we're both on the same page. Just don't spread the word around. Most Forum members don't even like to be in the same thread as me.

Here is what deecee actually said.

I think you're picking nits. Deecee may have hedged, but Nevada seems to have accurately gauged his meaning, IMO.
