Imagine that. Atleast we have a 6 game streak in something & it’s sure isn’t wins.

I spoke to a few officials last night at the game I attended. They told me that OF leads the area in technical fouls for this season. 20+ so far. At least 10-12 in the last few weeks. 

This is a problem that needs correcting soon.

That’s insane

Where’s the disconnect coming from? Discipline, coaching, and or leadership on the court?

There’s no discipline or accountability. Not even a little bit. I think it’s a perfect storm of the mixture of kids that are there now with the fact that the coach is really passive with the kids. On top of that the leadership roles on the court are ones getting the technicals.

[HarryDoyle]

Were any players ever suspended? Or was it a different player every time? Either way that is not a good look on the coaching staff or OF as a whole. Random techs happen, but to have this many over a short stretch is a bad look.

Some of this stuff has implications way past what these kids probably realize.  I know a 6’7” kid from the Houston area that at one time held an A&M offer.  Big kid, wide shoulders, can hit the three and was one of the better back to the basket players I have seen at his age.  Kind of an Adrian Dantley/Alex English type game for some of you old heads.  Anyway, I’m not sure he has any committable offers at this point.  Even lost some Southland offers for jawing at his coach, refs, etc.  And this is a 6’7” kid who would be more talented than most of the rosters in the Southland.  Point being, college coaches are very attune to red flags in this day and age.  And when you can recruit kids out of the portal, you better be squeaky clean as a high school kid, on and off the court.

Not sure of any suspensions but haven’t seen any. There’s a couple of players that I would say have around 5 a piece (guessing). Mainly talking to refs, cussing, cussing at players/fans. Hopefully they can reel it in because it’s definitely gone a little too far and folks in town aren’t proud of it.

Yeah some of the things that players have been heard saying are really bad… Kinda surprised some are still allowed to be playing based off what I’ve been told

I don’t think anyone playing for Orangefield has to worry about that. No one on that team is D1. 
 

The T’s should stop for respect purposes

Couldn't agree more. Theres got to be some sort of consequences, and if there has been then it hasn't been harsh enough.

If you are getting that many technical fouls.  To me it's a sign that you are not disciplined or prepared. I coached for awhile and never got one but I had a player get one and he never got another because there are consequences for getting one if you know what I mean.

For OF this will have to be corrected and it starts at the top. JMO

D1, D2, D3, NAIA.  Same principle.  And there was definitely some Southland interest earlier in the season or maybe earlier in the school year (which happens to be D1). I know that for a fact.  I’m not sure that’s still the case.

Back in the Stone Ages when I was in school, any technical foul (or unsportsmanlike in football for similar behavior) usually ended with some vomiting by the offending player after the next practice.  You’re right - it was a strong deterrent.

Something was definitely in the air over the last two weeks. Two different articles of Basketball parents & kids fighting. One kid came out of the stands & one parent was swinging at a player. 😳

Not even just the last two weeks, stuff like this has been happening more and more over the last several years.

I know this is a bad look, but do you think referees are prone to hand out these techs because of some of the issues they have "Heard" about? Ive seen a few referees locally over the years who will hand out techs like candy on Halloween.
