Hi all,
I am NOT a sports fan, and it is causing me a little difficulty with a murder mystery I'm reading now.
The coach and a player on a basketball team (the star of which was recently murdered) are reported as having been 'drawn a technical' in one of the games*. From the context, I'm guessing that they've been fined for being obnoxious/disruptive to the game. Is there more to it than this? (I may be following a red herring, but suspect there's a clue to the mystery somewhere in this "newspaper" report of the game...)
Thanks for any info you can shed.
*It's a high school team and they were expected to go to state-wide competition due to the skills of the murdered player, apparently. The team is surviving but not thriving after the murder... [For what it's worth, so far it's a fun series with a wanna-be cat-loving private eye set in Cincinnati, OH... Title: "Two points for Murder" and the author's D. B. Borton. First title in series was One for the Money, about the murder of two bag ladies.]
