2008-2009 Interps

Back In The Saddle

How many would consider taking the approach that interp number 9 discusses: "The referee is also within his/her authority to assess a team technical foul for unsporting behavior on the spectator."?

I kind of like that it assigns responsibility for the incident beyond just the player. And I like that it results in no throws. But it seems kinda far out there for my liking.

Haven't we always had that option to assess the T for spectator and "team followers" behavior? From what I remember though, it would almost have to be one of those "once-in-a-lifetime" situations to penalize a team for fan actions. Perhaps this interp is just pointing out we still have that option, even though it is seldom used.

Yes the rules do allow for you to give a T to a spectator of a team follower. But it is also suggested that this is a last resort and something you should use game management to handle.

And if there are questions you still can't find answers to after diligently searching those sources, come back and ask. We don't mind helping with individual questions; we do mind people asking for a copy of the answers. There are some hereabouts that would even throw out the "c word" in regards to such requests. I'm just sayin' 😉

Try the rule book and the case book.

How are we to know who the spectator is? It could be the player's brother.

If you can't tell, then don't penalize. It is, most of the time, pretty easy to tell.
