Saw him as well...chatted it up for about five minutes during halftime...in fact now that I've seen him once...been running into him seemingly every day! :D

eAt least you are running in the right circles!!
Maybe we can encourage him to join us here on the forum. Lord knows he has been tangentially influenced greatly over the years by info originating here.

Just saw the OP. Here's how I understand it:

If you're calling a delay-of-game violation, it's a warning, then a team T, then another team T, etc. The four warnings are limited to plane violations, spilling water on the floor during/after a time-out, touching the ball after it clears the basket, and huddling before a free-throw. In the last two, I look for an actual delay. (A unintentional tap or quick hand-slap with the shooter is nothing to me.)

If you're calling a delay-of-game foul, it's a technical foul to the player/coach. If it doesn't fall within the four warnings, it has to be a foul.
