🏀 La Tech player ejected after second technical foul (which was assessed on a dunk that was too vicious?) You be the judge.

I caught this article over on CBS sports which led me to this video. And yes, the subject line here is correct. It appears he was just too mean.
WATCH: Ref slaps player with technical, toss him from game for vicious dunk

His second tech which led to his ejection:


His first tech, possibly worse than the second:

I saw that. The second tech was for looking at defensive player he dunked on. And was ejected. Their super star. Lol

Officiating is getting worse!!!

 

[TUSKtimes]

The announcers were saying it was the jawing after the dunks that got him tossed.

Exactly the reason i dont follow bball.
The officials play to the home crowd. See many time touches on one end...home end...called... rough contact on other not called. Bad officiating ( even our own David Smith QB in 90s) ruins the game

I disagree with the call, but it looks like the pointing at the player got him rung up. It couldn't have been any words because the ref standing right there did nothing and the call came from the official near half court.

He was on the home team.

Having trouble figuring out the football angle to thread

That ref that got in the coaches face acting all animated needs to be taken down about three notches.

 

[Tidestalker]

Ummmm... He must have really set that ref off somehow. That is ridiculous.

But refs are refs for a reason... I'll leave it at that.

Yeah officiating in basketball is getting worse and worse. Certain officials seem to get irritated with something during a game and will start making calls based off of emotion. That's still not the worst T that I ever saw... Who remembers this beauty...



If I'm not mistaken there was some talk about possible attempts at game rigging there but never proven.

 

[50+yeartidefan]

Yeah. In this case ...i heard there was some history that added in to this case

I once got T'd up by an official from half court that called a blocking foul down on the block right in front of the under official!! I simply asked, "how can you make that call right in front of your partner like that? You are basically calling him a blind dumbass!" There were 30 seconds in the game and we were getting blown out and I had already checked out from coaching. I mentioned to him about just letting the clock run and putting his whistle in his pocket. He got pissed and smoked me! I then lost my shit and got a 2nd one so the game could finish right then!!

Only time I ever got hit with a T was the only time I ever got thrown out (and then suspended for the rest of the year) lol Me and this guy from Luverne were getting into it all game. He wanted to play real physical, so I played physical right back at him. At one point he slaps my hand away and says "get off me faggot" or something along those lines. That leads to a couple of shoves and a T for each of us.

Next time down court I block his layup attempt and just smirk at him. He says F-U to me, no T. I steal an inbound pass a few minutes later and as I'm up in the air he grabs me and slams me down as hard as a human can be slammed. I immediately popped up and punched him in the mouth. I'm gone at that point but my top had blown off and I started cursing every Luverne player around and the refs. I actually was so pissed I didn't just go to the locker room, I went home. Coach was not pleased and told me I could stay home the rest of the year (there were only 2 games left in regular season lol). Got into a fight with the same kid in a football camp a few months later too lol

That was terrible both times.
