truerookie

I quite sure Dave @ MSHSAA would like to know more about the contact once you submit your report to the state. I agree shower time!!

To me, it's a technical foul that includes a shower. If I think that it was deliberate, his azz is gone.

I think that ought to be the official mechanic for flagrant technical fouls.

First "T" in three years? You must have a high tolerance for pain 😎

I agree with your first "T", but as the rest have said, he should have been ejected. If you thought it was on purpose, he's gotta go.

As Mr. Monday Night Football says, "It's a gots-to-go situation!"

Isn't this the correct mechanic?

I use this one. It reflects how seriously I take this type of infraction and it gets the message across quite nicely.

Well its his first T and he didnt eject in this situation -- that should answer your question/statement

TWEEEEEEEEEETT!!!! "Flagrant Technical Foul, # so-and-so, contact with a game official, the player is ejected!!" It may not be stated the right way, but it will definitely be enforced the right way. NO QUESTION! This kid is hitting the shower! But . . . that is just my opinion. 😎

Team A calls a 30 second timeout, player a was mad because he got trapped in the corner and wanted a foul, so I go to report the timeout and as im standing there the kid who was mad walks behind me and hits me in the back, not brushed but made me turn. I could not get the whistle in my mouth quick enough to blow the T.

Coach ask for an explination. I tell him, your player hit me right in the back and he says he doesn't believe he would do that on purpose, I tell him I would of thought it was unintentional if he would of said excuse me. But no he hits me in the back then walks to his huddle to listen to his coach.

Has this ever happened to anyone else?

If you didn't toss him, you kicked it.

I agree. BTW Nevadaref, I like your signature!

'See ya see bye' as we say around this area.

I agree with the others here - flagrant T/ejection (DQ to bench unless other arrangements have been made). There also may be further consequences depending on your state HS activities ASSN rules. In Oregon intentional contact with an official is specifically defined as "gross unsportsmanlike conduct" and can result in penalties up to & including DQ for the remainder of the season & fines levied to the school.

I seriously doubt that - it just doesn't make the national news when it happens at the HS/JH level.
