Corner Canyon |
Referee: Matt Basham
U1: Brad Carpenter
U2: Rob Jones
Corner Canyon had the last possession of the 4th quarter with time running short in a tie game. Matt Basham was at the trail position, Rob Jones at center, and Brad Carpenter was at lead. Corner Canyon attempted a drive to the basket and missed the shot. Provo got the rebound and missed a ¾ court shot as time expired with the score tied.
I went to go retrieve the ball on Provo’s baseline and walked towards the scorer’s table. Brad came and told me that he had a technical foul on #1 for Corner Canyon and then reported it. I got Brad to discuss the situation regarding the technical foul. Brad stated that after time expired #1 for Corner Canyon came to him and said, “I fucking got hit on the shot!” Brad told #1 that he did not see a foul and, “Let’s go get ready for overtime.” At this point #1 shoves Brad in the stomach/chest area. I asked Brad to confirm what I understood to be intentional contact with him by #1, which Brad confirmed. With that being the case we informed the scorer that #1’s technical foul was flagrant and resulted in his disqualification. Brad and I got both coaches together to explain the situation involving the technical foul.
The crew then got together again to discuss the administration of the flagrant technical foul. It was decided by the crew that Provo would be awarded two free throws as if the foul had been part of the 4th quarter. Provo made the first of two free throws and the game ended with Provo winning by one point.
The way the penalty was administered was a misapplication of rule 5-6-4. Given the tie score, there was an extra period to be played; the two technical fouls should have been administered to start the overtime period. Then Provo would receive the ball for throw in at midcourt and Corner Canyon would have the possession arrow.
