Tough Call 4: JDA Bourgogne Dijon vs SIG Strasbourg - Special Situation

Blue 00 receives the ball under the basket guarded by White 1. After his shot is blocked, both players end up on the floor with some physical interaction. The referees stop the game. First, they call a technical foul to White 11 for addressing Blue 00 in a disrespectful way. Then they decide to review the IRS to check any possible act of violence. After the review, they call an unsportsmanlike foul to Blue 00 and a disqualifying foul to White 1.

Art. 36.2.1           A technical foul is a player non-contact foul of a behavioural nature including, but not limited to:

Disrespectfully dealing and/or communicating with the referees, the commissioner, if present, the table officials, the opponents, or persons permitted to sit on the team benches.
Art. 37.1.1          An unsportsmanlike foul is a player contact which, in the judgement of a referee is:
• Contact with an opponent and not legitimately attempting to directly play the ball within the spirit and intent of the rules.

Art. 38.1.1          A disqualifying foul is any flagrant unsportsmanlike action by players, substitutes, head coaches, assistant coaches, excluded players and accompanying delegation members.

Art. 42                  In the same game clock stopped period which follows an infraction, special situations may arise when additional infraction(s) are or have been committed.

                               All fouls shall be charged, and all penalties identified.

                               The order in which all infractions occurred shall be determined.

All equal penalties on the teams and all double foul penalties shall be cancelled in the order in which they were committed. Once all foul penalties have been entered on the scoresheet and cancelled, they are considered as never having occurred.

If a technical foul is committed, that penalty shall be administered first, regardless of whether the order of the penalties has been determined or whether the administration of the penalties has been started.

Art. 36.2              If a technical foul is committed, the opponents shall be awarded 1 free throw. The game shall be resumed as follows:

After the free throw, the throw-in shall be administered by the team which had control of the ball or was entitled to the ball when the technical foul was committed, from the place nearest to where the ball was located when the game was stopped.
Outcome: First of all, incorrect decision from the referees: there was a pushing foul by White 1 on Blue 00 that was not called. Because of the push, Blue 00 made a travelling violation that was not called either.

Then, correct decisions from the referees:

Technical foul to White 11.Unsportsmanlike foul to Blue 00 for grabbing White 1’s leg.Disqualifying foul to White 1 for hitting Blue 00 in the face.
The penalty for both the unsportsmanlike foul and the disqualifying foul is 2 free throws plus possession of the ball. Equal penalties cancel each other. The game shall be resumed with one free throw for the Blue team for the technical foul: Then, a throw-in from the place closest to where the ball was located when the technical foul was called for the team that was in control of the ball at that time (White team) and the remaining time in the shot clock (21 seconds) as the technical foul was called to the team in control of the ball.
