Varsity Game. So, I know we shouldn’t rely on strange events to win, but I really feel like the referees should have called a technical foul on the White Team.
What happened:
Final quarter— We have 2 seconds left. Ball gets passed to White Opponent who holds onto the ball to run the clock. One, two, three of our Blue Kids charge at the White Opponent to seize the ball. No luck.
Buzzard sounds and within one second afterwards, the White Opponent shoves the third Blue kid and immediately throws the basketball at the BACK OF HIS HEAD. The kid got hurt from it. Even though this was after the Final Buzzard, that unsportsmanlike action should have allowed us to take foul shots. That’s not cool to attack the back of someone’s head with a ball.
I want to upload the video but dunno how… I’m still new to basketball and trying to support my step kid so I don’t know a lot. What do the rules say about something like this?
Tldr; varsity basketball opponent shoves and throws basketball to the back of another kid’s head within 1-sec after final buzzard sound

I think the video was able to be uploaded here if anyone cares to watch. It’s 16 seconds long.
Depends on your rules, idk. If that was before the buzzer it’s 100% a tech or flagrant
Am I missing something? The kid in blue shoulder checked the ball handler on white as the whistle was going off, then the kid in white throws the ball at him. It could be a double technical I guess? But the shoulder check is almost definitely a flagrant foul….
