In HS basketball, in a situation like the VCU game today, (St Bonnie crowd stormed the court with 1.6 seconds on the clock, VCU ball and couldn't inbounds), would a technical be given. A one shot technical?
 
I certainly don't have the patience to be a hoops ref and I don't claim to know the rules very well, but I do have access to the Rules Book, thanks to Arbiter.

I think the following rule covers this situation, but if anyone disagrees or knows of a better rule, feel free to chime in.

Rule 10-2-1b: Team Technical

ART. 1

Allow the game to develop into an actionless contest, this includes the following and similar acts:

b. Delay the game by preventing the ball from being made promptly live or from being put in play.

Penalty is 2 shots plus the ball for a division-line throw-in.
