Technical Foul or Ts.

A type of foul usually called because of violation or misconduct, basically unsportsmanlike conduct not involving physical contact between players, although very violent contact is sometimes punished with a technical foul as well as a personal foul. Technical fouls are most commonly called for a violation of conduct of a player or coach, such as abusive language (vociferous trash talking between players, but most often involves abusive and insulting language directed at the refs, such as showing disrespect for an official through excessive argument or using profanity.) or fighting, which has been deemed inappropriate according to the rules or the officials. Can be called on coaches as well as players. Each technical foul awards a free-throw to the non-offending team - 2 free-throws and possession in college - (at the NBA also means an automatic fine for the player who commits the violation). A player, coach, or team official is ejected after committing two technical fouls. Certain violations of the rules can also result in technical foul, such as successive illegal defense calls in the NBA.

Ten (or Eight)-Second Line.

Another name for the center line when the ten (or eight)-second rule is in effect.

Ten (or Eight)-Second Rule.

The rule that a team, having gained control of the ball in its own backcourt, they have 10 (or 8) seconds to proceed to the frontcourt. Failing to do this is a violation. Note: If the defense deflects the ball out of bounds, the count ends. A new 10 (or 8) second count would begin using the same guidelines on the ensuing throw-in. See Also: Over and Back.

About Rule Differences:
FIBA, NBA and ULEB: time limit is 8 seconds.
NCAA Men and WNBA: time limit is 10 seconds.
NCAA Women: no time limit rule.

TESTIMONIES & STORIES

Let Me Tell You a Story: A Lifetime in the Game Let Me Tell You a Story: A Lifetime in the Game
By: Red Auerbach & John Feinstein
America's favorite sportswriter teams up with Red Auerbach, the most successful and admired coach in Basketball history, to tell the best stories of a legendary life. Living legend Arnold "Red" Auerbach led the Boston Celtics to nine NBA championships--eight of them consecutive-- during his 17-year tenure in Boston from 1950 to 1966. The fiery coach is a unique personality--brash, opinionated, and unfailingly accurate. As a coach he never stood still along the sidelines, and in retirement he remains a lively part of the game, still consulted by coaches, players, and general managers at age 86.

Who's Afraid of a Large Black Man?
Who's Afraid of a Large Black Man?

By: Charles Barkley, Michael Wilbon
This is the most personal and important book Charles Barkley has written. He lays himself open here, and because he does, he brings the same straight talk out of everyone with whom he engages in his journey around America to talk about the things that matter most and are the hardest to say - things having to do with race, and money, and identity. Why is it that we can talk about all sorts of big issues, but when the subject of race is raised, we all freeze up?
Barkley was a great Basketball player who was never afraid to speak his mind on any number of topics. In this book, he attempts to discuss the controversial issue of race in America by interviewing 13 prominent men and women from an assortment of fields. Sports columnist and TV host Michael Wilbon (Washington Post, ESPN) has acted as editor.
