RULES OF CONDUCT

 

            Unsportsmanlike conduct is a technical foul.  To be unsportsmanlike is to act in a manner unbecoming a fair, ethical and honorable individual.  It consists of acts of deceit such as: accepting a foul which should be charged to a             teammate; faking being fouled; knowingly throwing a free throw awarded another; DISRESPECT, SUCH AS MAKING DEBASING OR CRITICAL REMARKS ABOUT AN OFFICIAL OR AN OPPONENT; VULGARITY, SUCH AS THE USE OF PROFANITY WHETHER OR NOT DIRECTED TO SOMEONE, ETC.

During the game ONLY THE TEAM CAPTAIN may speak to the referee and only about a question on a rule and only during a dead ball.  There are to be no other comments made to the referees at all. The only other time a captain or a bench coach may ask about a rule is if they call a time out.  Should the officials ruling be correct, the time out will be charged to the appropriate team. Conduct after the game will also be subject to all penalties and disqualifications.

            The penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct is a technical foul - 2 free throws, plus the ball for a throw in at the division line and disqualifications.

            In the Snowflake /Taylor Basketball League, a player with an unsportsmanlike technical foul will be removed from the game for two minutes.  A player charged with a second unsportsmanlike technical foul will be removed from the game for two minutes and will be required to officiate, ( as a third unpaid official ), a basketball game through the Recreation Department before being eligible to participate in another scheduled game. A third unsportsmanlike technical will be considered flagrant.  A player charged with a flagrant foul will be disqualified from further game play and will be ineligible to participate in the teams next scheduled game.  Disqualification’s penalties apply during tournament play, except for the player having to referee.  A player charged with a flagrant foul has two minutes to leave the gym or he will be charged with a second flagrant foul and the game will be forfeited, even if completed.  Any team that exceeds 5 flagrant technicals will be dropped from further league/tournament play, no refund!
