Wofford/NC State–Gottfried technical foul (Video)

[APG]

Not a fan of the actually timing in calling the T...calling the T when he did took away an open 3. I think you need a more patient whistle here.

I would have waited until the shot and subsequent action from it was finished...then whacked the coach.

Honestly, I do not think he cared. He got tired of his mess and took action. I agree in normal circumstances we should wait, but he had enough.

I think we've all been there...someone...a player or coach says or does something so ridiculous and outlandish, or has just gotten to the point where you've had enough, that we just go ahead and WHACK 'em. I've seen it at all levels...NBA, NCAA, and high school.

I would hope though that after video review, that's the conclusion he'd come to was to wait the extra couple of seconds...then whack the coach.

As to the actual T, he probably said some magic words...and he was overly demonstrative by smacking down on his arm to indicate his displeasure with the coach. I don't see anything wrong with the actual T itself.

Gottfried says "That's bullsh!t Karl, I was just talking to you" after he gets the T.

Well, what I see is a coach talking while demonstratively clapping his hands. That's not "just talking" in my book.

While I agree in principle about maybe waiting just a second or too longer, I think Gottfried said something before the Wofford player started to pass the ball which means Hess put air in his whistle before the second Wofford player started to shoot.

That doesn't change how this play, in a perfect world, should have been handled.

He's saying he'd still prefer to have seen Hess wait a moment before calling the T.
