Not killing myself with research but as far as I can tell, the ref's options are (a) do nothing; (b) give a warning (no impact in possession, no shots), or give a technical (two shots and the ball).
Thanks both of you. That's just makes yesterday's exchange let's just say, bizarre. Not that it would have changed anything as the outcome was not in doubt.
I beat you to it.
I've been late to parties recently.
Are you the Hurley kid that subs in for the last few seconds and just holds the ball while the clock winds down then hands it to the ref?
No that's Mullins Revenge
Does he play for them?
Just saw it again. I guess there is a chance they ruled him out of bounds as Hurley had a foot out of bounds when he touched his player.
A fun hypothetical is thinking how many T's would the UConn bench have had to get for Purdue to make it a close game. I think your right about the refs. I'm rarely in favor of dishing out T's (the double T is the worst) but I don't think anyone would have complained if Hurley got T'ed up there.
He used to. Must have been about 15 years ago when I saw him. I went up to him after the game and spoke about St. Johns.
That's not a thing.
That is a fascinating theory and may very well be the right answer. Kudos to you!!
Neither is what we saw
What if point guard is dribbling up the court and while doing so stops and gives his teammates on the bench a high five. Is he out of bounds?
It's a good guess but he’s not right.
So why wouldn’t making contact with a coach out of bounds be the same?
I would understand the formal warning if he was JUST out of the box. But he made contact —intentionally — with a player. That’s a tech. I’ve seen opposing players purposely run into coaches who were on the court to get that tech.
Im not here dissecting an irrelevant play from last nights game.
