Talk:Technical foul

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Questionable circumstances related to intentional and technical fouls at the end of two games on March 1st and 4th of 2006.

1. 1. Duke vs. Florida State. With time remaining in the game and Duke

   behind, Duke commits an intentional foul just prior to the Florida     
   State home crowd rushing the floor in apparent celebration.  A technical 
   foul was called on the Florida State crowd.  Duke shoots two (2) technical
   foul shots first followed by Florida State shooting two (2)foul shots as
   the result of the intentional foul. 

Opinion based on the rules of basketball:

   Duke was never awarded posession of the ball following their foul shots as
   a result of a technical foul.  Florida State should have shot their
   penalty shots first because the Duke intentional foul occured first.  Duke
   should have shot their technical foul shots next followed by posession of
   the ball.  This may have changed the result of the game as did the proper
   sequence of events in the game below.

1. 2. George Washington vs. Charlotte. Similar intentional foul/technical foul

   calls as Duke vs. Florida State (above).  GW was behind and intentionally 
   fouled Charlotte with time remaining in the game.  A techical foul was 
   called on a Charlotte player for the flagrant swinging of his elbows
   resulting in contact with a GW player. Charlotte shot two (2) foul shots
   first as a result of the intentional foul followed by GW shooting two (2)
   technical fouls shots PLUS retention of the ball which resulted in a game
   winning basket. 

Is there a different penalty given for a bench (crowd) technical foul vs. a player technical foul?
