The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
During a throw-in by A1, B1 reaches through the boundary plane and hits the ball. The official rules a technical foul against B1. The coach claims that, since they had not previously been warned, this should just be a warning.
Was the coach correct?
The coach was NOT correct. If a defender reaches through the boundary plane and touches or dislodges the ball, a technical foul is charged against that player. In addition, a team warning for delay is issued against Team B. Any further actions that might result in a team warning for delay will result in a technical foul being charged instead.
