Quick on the T?

[dabard]

I'm with ballgame99. There certainly appeared to be justification for the call. Not sure what I would have called, but the official closest to the action would have had a better feel for the situation and the player's demeanor.

Out of curiosity, was it the L or the C who called the T?

[CoachP]

C called the foul and kept moving in and issued the T.

just from that clip i dont see it. but it's tough to comment with such little context.

Fair enough... from the C's angle, it certainly looks like one of those "oh sh-t, I better get this before there's a retaliation" moments.

A very similar situation happened to me in my game on Friday night... about 45 seconds left, 18-point game. Push in the back by B5 on a rebound, ball ends up being rebounded by B11. After my whistle for B5's push, B11 makes a very similar move as was in your video, and makes some very slight forearm-to-chin contact with A34 (I don't think it was intentional in the sense of "B11 meant to do it"). A34 then gives B11 a shove.

Had I not gotten the double-technical there, the end of the game would've been significantly worse. As it was, I reported three fouls, I talked to both coaches, we shot two free throws for B5's foul (A was in the bonus), and the game ended without further incident.

That's not even a "T" during "play time" in a kindergarten class!
