Throwing ball into stands question

[RUmaz]

Is it a technical foul for throwing ball into the stands? In this case wouldn't have mattered if it was two shots with no time. Probably delay of game but no time was left so no call?
Sorry wrong board

I don't think it's an automatic technical. It is up to the referee's discretion.

The ball slipped out of his hand. He meant to try a long three.

Technical in football?

 

[KJRU]

Our QB's throw the ball into the stands all the time with no flag.

We're sometimes better hitting the fans because they are always open. Not so much our receivers. Another decision for coach Kill.

On the other hand, depending on what quarter of the game we're in, there may be more receivers in the pattern than fans in the end zone seats.

He could easily have been trying to throw it high in the air before stepping out to be sure time would expire. Seriously. You see attempts to save balls go all sorts of ways in bball.

It is a technical and I thought about that but after watching the replays the buzzer hit 0 and the game was over before then all may have even crossed the "out of bounds" line

Luckily, Tim Higgins was officiating the game, and he left the court just before the buzzer sounded.

Good stuff. We're just lucky that Illinois is a red-headed bastard child of the Big Ten just like us.

Definitely applies to quarters #1 & 4.

we knocked the Illini out of the NCAAs from what the announcer said...he was a former Illini player

Ive seen a few throw the ball into the stands ...but ive never seen a technical

Besides...its a good no call.........its a 1 shot foul isnt it?

Higgins would have made sure that this was a 4 shot foul ....or until the Illini had 1 more point than RU.

Then the game would have been over- with no blood on his hands.

Why are you allowed to keep baseballs, but other balls you have to give back?

because baseballs are small enough to hide...

 

[cicero grimes]

Spiking the ball on 4th down should also be a technical foul.

Bring an inflation pin to the football game. 10 seconds and you can fold it up and put it in your pocket. Or a knife...
