It's not an official. It's a guy in a striped shirt and a backwards baseball cap.

I have no problem with city league officials being rookies, but they should at least look the part! Wearing a backwards hat = no respect from me or anyone else!

@mattk000 1) I hope you mean FIBA.

2) It would be called a "clear path foul," The player on the receiving end of the foul receives free throws and possession. It's not unsportsmanlike, just a rule implemented to discourage players from hindering both an easy bucket and stopping the action of the game.

This is not a technical foul. If anything I would have called it an intentional foul. A flagrant foul would have the player ejected.

TAG! You're it.

1. Unprofessionally attired official, but at least better than the players, who couldn't be bothered wearing matching clothes.

2. Under the current FIFA rules, any personal foul on an attacking player on a fast break where there is no defender in front of the attacking player is an automatic unsportsmanlike foul. I don't know what rules this league plays under (and the video was before that rule was implemented), but I'm not sure there is anything to complain about from this angle.

moron dosent knwo the diff between flagrant and technical?

Deserved a "T", whether the ref looks the part or not. If you've ever played basketball, you know that shoving a player from behind, hard or not, is a technical.

Plus the score looks to 13 to 11 - not exactly a needed shove.

@MemphisBasketball As an offical in multiple sports now for over 20 years, I can say that basketball officials, even in city league, are Not permitted to wear a hat, no matter a birth defect or some hair problem.

And if they were permitted towear one, it would be worn forward, not backwards.

@MemphisBasketball That is not judgemental! That is a PAID job, and as such, I expect some professionalism!

@weathermanfsu

thats a very judgmental statement. seeing as how you have NO idea why he is wearing the hat. wouldnt you feel like an ass if his reason for wearing the hat is a birth defect or something on his head. or maybe its because he has a huge head of hair and it would look retarded for a ref to wear a headband.
