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.
 
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
 
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?

Game was already over no big deal there
 
Luckily, Tim Higgins was officiating the game, and he left the court just before the buzzer sounded.

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.
