Booker's Tech

He actually (gasp!!!) clapped his hands. Oh the horror.

The Tech players must have been having PTSD all over the court because of it.

Pretty clear Kruger was not worried about it at all

That was so dumb... He wasn't in the opponent's face or anything. For the official's sake. I hope Booker said something pretty inappropriate that we weren't privy to.

The tv announcers thought Thomas might draw a T for taunting for arm flex move after a big play.Barring any direct verbal taunting ,I fail to understand how an expression of excitement or enthusiasm like clapping or arm flex is a T.

I would bet he said something. I know from experience as a ref that guys trash talk all the time. Usually you warn them when they're close to crossing the line. Frank had to have done something more than just clap his hands in exuberance. Maybe he had already been warned a couple of times.

I mean, it definitely wasn't just a "clap his hands in exuberance." It was clearly aimed at the Tech player in a "we good, we got you, all day" kinda way. But yeah, any words said are what we are unaware of.

Obviously I have no way of knowing for sure, but the way he was moving and clapping, it couldn't have been something too over the line. Maybe he dropped an n-word or something.

Frank’s ‘T’ may be a good thing if he learns a lesson from it. Thank goodness OU pulled out the win, or the ‘T’ would be a bigger issue.

Earlier in the season, Frank appeared to grab his ‘junk’ after a made 3-pointer, although no ‘T’ resulted. Also, it would be OK by me if he eliminated the statue-like poses after a made 3-pointer. Frank is a good player that is getting better. He does not need to showboat during the games, but rather let his playmaking do the talking.
