Rule Discussion: Object thrown on court, Technical assessed

[presjacket]

keep in mind that even without the technical Miss St still had another FT coming. They missed the first of 2. So they had a second as well as a technical.
They hit the technical first and then missed the 2nd of 2.

And so the technical free throw was really just like a makeup free throw for an object flying at him while he was trying to shoot the first free throw. So it was more like a lane violation by the stuffed animal. LOL

When watching the video, to me the stuffed animal lands behind him well after the shot was taken and missed.

An 82% FT shooter who had 30+ points on the night was not going to go 0-2 at the line.

He would against our FT D last night.

Seriously, if I still lived in GA I'd take a bag of stuffed animals to their games

Could be that the SEC didn't want Mississippi State to be in danger on the bubble by losing to UGA, so the fix got called in.

It just means more.

Guessing it wasn't you then who held the beer for Marcquise Reed

to, the following:

a. Using musical instruments, amplified music or artificial noisemakers while
the game is in progress, except timeouts and intermissions;
b. Using laser pointers;
c. Throwing debris on the court after officials’ jurisdiction has begun;
d. Delaying the game by preventing the ball from being promptly made live or
by preventing continuous play, such as but not limited to, followers entering
the playing court before the player activity has been terminated. When the
delay does not interfere with play, it shall be ignored, or
e. Using profanity or language that is abusive, vulgar or obscene.

Note 1: Before penalizing a follower(s) of a team for violating Rule 10-2.8, the
officials shall have knowledge as to which team’s follower(s) committed the act.

Note 2: When the misconduct of the follower(s) for violating Rule 10-2.8 is
extreme or excessive, such behavior may be penalized by the official requesting
home/contest management to eject from the premises the team follower(s) involved
in the misbehavior. In such a case, a technical foul shall not be assessed.

PENALTY—(Art. 8) One free throw awarded to the offended team. The ball
shall be put back in play at the point of interruption using the procedures
of Rule 7-3.2.

PENALTY—Section 2 Administrative Technical Fouls:

The rule left out this part:

This is only a problem with the dumbest of fans.

Thanks for finding this. I tried, and I failed.

First of all.. "team followers"... I am more than just a "team follower". I'm offended.

Second, I'm surprised to see this explicitly written, but it supports a point of contention:

Note 1: Before penalizing a follower(s) of a team for violating Rule 10-2.8, the
officials shall have knowledge as to which team’s follower(s) committed the act.

For yesterday's game, while it's logical to conclude whose fans brought a frickin' teddy bear to the game AND threw it on the court, was it proven?

I've always been told that the reason for a warning was because a) it's very difficult to prove whose "followers" did it in the time allowed and 2) the warning would discourage "followers" of team A from posing as a "follower" of team B in any future contest.

You did this. You forced me to find the video of this.

You can't see the tosser of the toy on the screen but it came from right above a bunch of people wearing their ugly red stuff. It looked pretty obvious that the moron was in a very partisan uga section and that the moron actually did try to hit the shooter with the toy.

So we're all wearing red to the next GT vs uGA game, right?

As long as we have a good FT shooter, I think we can be that 20 ppg scorer we always wanted.

Also need to find a bookie beforehand.

Despite evidence to the contrary, I can never accept that we would need to cheat to beat them in basketball. I can't do it. I can't even think about it in a joking manner.

Think about it as a margin of victory measure?

We can do cats instead of bears.

Think about it like an insurance policy, like if you were to die at 40.

 

[Northeast Stinger]

Yeah but that's not as fun as saying they won because of the technical. Either way he made 2nd FT. My thought was the 3rd miss was on purpose due to the time remaining on the clock.

Insidious.

 

[MidtownJacket]

I mean I would lose my mind if this happened to us.

 

[TheSilasSonRising]

Just as ugag did during the war years in games they lost to GT (if they didn’t want them to count why did they play them?), gaggers mbb will not count this game vs MSU.

 

[gtpi]

how about a go fund me page for a designated gt toy tosser at ugag games?
