What's really bad is the object was thrown after he had missed the FT.
I might be wrong I'm old but I thought he'd already missed it. Let's go to the replay.... After review the ball was already in the air and free throw missed he never saw the stuffed thing during the shot.He didn’t get to shoot that FT again. He missed the 1st. Object thrown. They called a technical. He shot the technical FT. Missed the 2nd FT from the foul on purpose. But yea, he definitely feels more pressure on that 2nd attempt if no tech. So it altered the game in some way.

Okay then if you gone get huffy about it....lol. You're right.He did already miss. But he was at the line to shoot 2. Missed the first (that’s 1). They called a technical foul. He shot the next one for a tech, not a re-do of the 1st one. And then he got the second FT from the foul.
Had they ruled the object had effected the shot, he would’ve been able to shoot that again, shoot the technical, and then the 2nd FT from the foul (4 shots as opposed to 3)
It wasn’t 5 seconds, it was 1/2 a second. He still had the 2nd FT to make from the shooting foul. So technically, the technical didn’t cost them. It may have made Weatherspoon feel a little less pressure on the shot. Tough call in that situation, meaning the foul call. Tough night for the Gamecocks with MSU escaping and Florida upsetting LSU in Baton Rouge.
I thought Weatherspoon was suspended ?
Fan threw a miniature stuffed dawg on the floor. SMH
I'm sure his suspension is over and he plays Saturday against us.Nick Weatherspoon is suspended, that was his older brother, Quindary, that made the free throws.
In essence, we're still 3 full games ahead of Florida (2 games, plus we own the tie breaker) and the same versus Mississippi State. If we beat State on Saturday, that pretty much will keep them out of 4th place and solidify our position.
MY immediate thought was, "Okay, a fan of which team threw it??"I have never heard of that being called a technical without a warning coming first. If I was Jawja I'd be furious! Both teams are bulldogs. Who knows who threw it. That's why a warning always comes prior to a tech.

Roger thatMY immediate thought was, "Okay, a fan of which team threw it??"
Exactly what came to my mind. How do they KNOW which team should be assessed the technical?MY immediate thought was, "Okay, a fan of which team threw it??"
No, you aren't, either.I guess I’m the only one that enjoys seeing jackass fans get their comeuppance?
