The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
A-1 beats B-1 off the dribble and drives to the basket and scores on a layup. After the score, A-1 gets in B-1’s face yelling at him.
Handle the situation.
This is taunting. It should ALWAYS result in a technical foul being ruled. Ignoring this activity as being just kids excited is not okay. Any type of activity that will belittle, embarrass or demean a player on the other team should always result in a technical foul for unsporting conduct. No warning should be given.
Please be reminded that ignoring taunting is one of the quickest ways to have a fight occur during your game.
