Technical Foul

He didn’t do anything that a lot of players do and don’t get T’d up. Bullshit call. That official absolutely stinks.
Normally, I would agree with you, but Simpson made several gestures and then cursed at the fans where the official was standing there. I was pissed, but pissed at Simpson. You have to keep your head there. Because of what he did, he allowed a 6-point swing in 26 seconds. Regardless of how you feel about it being a shitty call or not, as a player, you can't let officials grab the game from you.
It wasn't the hand gestures, but he did yell F...you twice and might have added a bit more. So is that worth a tech?
This.
You just don’t do that…technical or not. He’s gotta mature and hopefully this helps.
You can do the feed me thing, you can yell/curse at the crowd, you can shush, and maybe even yell a second time, but you can’t do all 4. It was way over the top from what most guys do.
Yeah he yelled something - went too far
Of all the bad calls and no calls - that wasn’t one. That was on Simpson
But yes those refs SUCKED SUCKED SUCKED

He very clearly said “shut the f up” to the crowd twice. I have no idea how often THAT happens across the country, but let’s just be thankful he can learn from this in a win, not a loss.
Refs think people come to watch them. If marylands arena wasnt a morgue it wouldnt have been a T
Every time a block is made at the rim players say audibly “get that shit out of here” to the opponent. Its never a T
Crowd was chanting air ball all night every time he touched the ball. If I were his age I’d have done the same thing. As an adult I couldn’t believe how stupid he was to do that in front of the ref, seems like emotions got the best of him. Oh well he’s been impressing me with his play as of late.
Garbage call at that point in the game. Good ref gives a warning. No taunting of opposition. Four point play puts Maryland back in the game. Ref inserted himself in game. Blew out of bounds call. Bad officiating all game.
That actually is a fair point. Refs likely hearing more than they typically do in a full venue. The T definitely did not need to be called, but you can also see why it was given how pronounced Derek was with what he said, with his gestures, etc. Like I said, glad he learned in a W as opposed to a L.
Simpson got a bit carried away but that’s not a technical 9/10 times…especially with 3 minutes left in the game.
That’s the issue! Don’t call that with three minutes left. Come on. Ref inserting self in game. Ridiculous
More like 99 out of 100. First time I have ever seen a t for taunting the crowd lol. Rutgers gets a lot of first time ever bad calls.
To be fair it was a technical and good call by the refs. He cursed twice to the crowd. If he just did the shhhh and held his finger up it wouldn't have been called. Clearly he was mad at them yelling airball all game
Just need to be more mature in those situations

Yeah...no.
Like many of you on here I watch hundreds of college basketball games every year. I'm not sure I've ever seen that called on a player. Ever.
I agree. Hell, I have been even cussed at by a player with the ref, standing right there, preparing for an inbound. That ref smiled and laughed.
Neither did I — did the broadcasting crew think they saw it out off of Mag? I watched it, but I had no sound.
I thought it changed direction after hitting Mag’s leg. Was a good call.
It was just too much..
1. Yelling F you twice
2. Giving the throat slit
3. Giving the Shhh sign
Does he really need to do ALL THREE... it's excessive at that point especially right in front of the ref
If you have more taunts in a 3 seconds period than baskets made, you need to dial back the "me" and focus on the team

None of us were on the court to see what was going on during the game or specifically that incident and who Derek gestured to. The announcers said that was the right call there. I get why people are upset as we see plenty of this taunting going on and its not called. For me they should call it on everyone, I dont like it anytime when Harper carries balls to the ground or the Nebby guy gives the shh. To me shouldnt be part of the game. Hopefully a learning lesson for Derek. Let the play you just made which was awesome speak for itself
That's all fine but there needs to be some consistency with this kind of shit. There's all kind of sportsmanship BS that gets called like 5% of the time. It needs to be 0% or 100%.
5% is extremely extremely generous. More like < 0.000001 %
I have never ever ever seen a player get a T for taunting the crowd.
I'm sure as hell going to be watching for it now.
Ref can warn him. Ref should never insert himself into outcome which he did. Have seen other players and teams and never a call.
Sure Simpson shouldn’t have done it but Ref had an itchy trigger to call it on RU.
When have we ever got that call to our benefit?
And the idea that Maryland didn’t foul!
23 foul shots to 11 for RU and that’s with Maryland purposely fouling.
Ridiculous discrepancy and kept Maryland in the game.
Huge if not the factor in the game!
Can not ignore.
