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 the third quarter, A-3 attempts a jump shot and misses. B-3 rebounds the miss and passes the ball out for a fast break. Team A’s assistant coach jumps up, steps onto the court and berates the official.
Handle the situation.
Since Team B has a clear advantage for the fast break, it would be appropriate to wait until the conclusion of that activity. At that point, the assistant coach should be penalized with a technical foul for unsporting conduct. Of course, the Team A head coach will lose the right to use the coaching box.
