Just curious, were any of the "reminders" official written warnings?
Are we to assume that the technical foul was for standing and gesturing? The description of events contains two "reminders" of such before the technical foul, but no statement of the reason for the actual technical foul.
Unless the is no coaching box in Iowa, or the head coach had lost the coaching box privilege, depending on its severity, the gesture alone (even without standing) may have been unsporting enough for a technical foul. Of course the standing does add something to the gesture.
No reason not to grant the timeout. Maybe the timeout was being confused with the rule regarding "substitutes" only before the final attempt and after the final attempt of multiple free throws, but that's only for personal fouls, not technical fouls.
While the technical foul may have been righteous, there are many questions to be answered.
