What is everyones opinion on this rule?
A player was fould while in the act of shooting within a few seconds of the three quater time break. The league in which it occurs the clock does not stop so time expired before the player took his free throws. Most players just walked off to their respective benches. I stood behind the shooter a step or two behind the three point line to watch (I was not saying anything mouthing off our otherwise just standing there) The ref demanded that I leave the court immediately and I was not permitted on the Court while the free throws were taken. I did not respond and stood there (again without saying anything)so I received a tech foul and was told that if did not leave I would be thrown out! I walked to the bench albeit slowly. I admit that I should have just gone to the bench in the first place even if the ref is wrong as they have the authority and the power of the whistle rules. I would just like some others thoughts on whether I was entitled to remain on the court while free throws were taken.
