Play BreakDown

WAC Flagrant Foul SEA UTRGV: On this transition play we call a shooting foul on White #14. Count the basket. Flagrant 2 technical foul on Black #23 and he is ejected. Flagrant technical foul on white #14 and he is also ejected. The technical fouls will cancel out and we will resume play from the 1 free throw for Black #23’s substitute with players in lane spaces. Remember, when the free throw shooter has been ejected, his same coach will bring in a sub to shoot the free throws. The Lead did a nice job of not turning his head away from the players and getting in between them.
