I don't know, it looks like the picker push the defensive player into the shooter, but that was just from the two angles we saw.

Missed the illegal screen on miss st

Joe Bob woah😳

My question exactly

Only an idiot would throw something onto the court.

I was thinking the same thing. Who threw it ?

yoooo for real!!!!!!!!!!!!! that would be cheating

This time; and for the Georgia fan, you can't throw your stuff bulldog on the court.

The fans didn't get the tech, the home team did.

Doesn't matter according to current rules. Rightly or wrongly, the technical will be called on the home team.

I agree good call on foul and I agree with the assesment of techincal foul

Had an imbecile ref do that to us, said he heard a curse word from behind our bench at a 150 team tournament where ANYONE could be watching even if they weren't a fan of that team. Thought to myself the same thing I can go sit behind the visitor team and swear loudly. I used to ref football, had the referee overturn one of my calls "an interception" by a team winning by a big score, said he wanted to give the losing team another chance. After the game I chased him to his truck like a coward he jumped in and took off before i could put my hands on him.

@@billwalters4338 As justified as you may have been, sheriff’s deputies would not have agreed with you. Better to send the game tape to the assignor and end the ref’s career.

@@vitesse_arnhem Did that

He missed the final free throw shot on purpose. If you take away the tech foul shot, he would not have tried to miss the second shot on purpose after missing the first.

Did you watch the video at all? Wow. Just wow.

Yes, he did. However, he hits his body with his hip while airborne and shooting. This is a foul.

That is the penalty assessed for that type of infraction, per the rules.

Agreed. And it didn't affect the shot at all.

Pretty much all technical fouls at the NCAA level are enforced at the "point of interruption." That means that you shoot the free throws for the technical foul and then you go back to the place you were at the time of the technical foul. And that is both Class A and Class B technical fouls in almost every case. The only time we clear the lane in the NCAA is a Dead Ball Contact Technical where you give the ball to the team that was contacted. Otherwise, this is like every other technical foul at the NCAA level.

I agree. I think it was an overreaction by the refs. The commentator said that the tech foul was called to send a message to the fans to stop throwing things onto the court. The refs could have sent the the message by making an announcement that if it happened again, it would be a tech foul. If it happens a second time, then call the tech foul. The first shot was missed before the object landed on the court.

Refs had direct knowledge of a fan throwing an object onto the court. Which team the fan may have been rooting for is irrelevant. The technical for fan interference is assessed on the home team.

Under the NCAA-M rule set it is pretty much an automatic call in that situation to call the T. So the officials had no choice but to call the T despite the time remaining on the clock

I guess I misunderstood the rule then. I do wish that things could have been decided just by on court actions.

@@SgvSth disagree. Rules like these prevent fans from tossing stuff onto the floor and getting penalized for it. Without these rules these actions would happen more often.

@@Minecraftmaster44 Knowing these rules however for fans if your team is down and or its tied he missed his first free throw what would it stop a die hard fan from throwing something on the floor to give his team another chance....In that fact not much one can do unless point out the person who did it. Shouldn't be a T call on the home team.

@@jasonspalding1253: Doesn't matter who throws it according to current rules. Rightly or wrongly, the technical will be called on the home team.

Good call on the foul as he got the player down low. Also, in the rules it’s an automatic T if a fan throws something on the court during a free throw

Are you high?

The reason the technical free throw attempt came next is because if the 2nd FT attempt is missed it is a live ball.

And who is to say a Mississippi St Han didn’t do it?

​@@johnguedel7119 That was my point in my reply to @gelarjor - In all likelihood, you do not...so given that, who gets a tech and why? Not safe to assume it was a jilted fan. Probably was...but not a certainty. Impossible to say whether he would have made that second free throw had the tech not happened...game easily could have gone to OT. Still either team's game.
