Tough play. At first I thought the tech was on the defensive player, until I saw the elbow. Both players were at fault for not stopping, and the offensive player was the only one to escalate so I agree with the call. Not much you can do here other than hit the whistle, close down, and hope they stop. It's on them.

Yes the black player rode the white team player, in an apparently chastising manner, long after the blocking violation was called. In effect, black continued fouling white after the whistle by continually riding/hedging white after the whistle, no?

Right. And the halfhearted "elbow" was no more significant than what the defender was doing. Both deserved the T if one deserved the T. Both were responsible for dead ball contact of a similar intensity.

*very well-written! me like.

Totally agree. The Butler player was punking him. The whistle had blown and he was purposefully continuing to make contact with the Oklahoma player.

Could be a double T. Could be a “Hey, knock that crap off guys.”, depending on how the rest of the game has gone, etc.

Just to play devils advocate here, but If the defender could have stopped moving laterally after the whistle couldn't the offensive player stopped moving forward?
