Just curious, are you saying that walking towards the division line waving ones arms is sufficient for getting a (2nd) technical?

He was considerably out of the coaching box, wasn't he?

Both fouls were consistent to what I've seen this week.
A lot of the "touch fouls" I've seen were defender passively guarding, and not calls I'd make in a high school game.

(BYU-Oregon was "touch foul" central. (Eyewitness.) 45+ fouls, and that was a 20 point difference.)

Coach must request a time out, can't go to the table. Saw this called two-plus decades ago by Dave Libbey. Looks terrible, but it is what it is.


Not like the refs called a T for dunking in the pre-game warm ups.
Oh, wait.

Hard to call a timeout when you don't have the ball...just saying

There's protocol for fixing errors like this. Breaking that protocol comes with a risk, and that risk is increased when you've already been warned and whacked. You might just get walked.

ok, so say he doesn't go to the table and the play proceeds as it did...how would he be able to fix anything?

1. I honestly don't know what the protocol is.

2. Do we honestly think these guys aren't going to notice on their own after a short amount of time?

3. My recommendation: Get the clock operator's attention and the let them deal with it. His short leash from acting like an idiot after a solid foul call earlier left him with little recourse.
