If the defensive bench is miscounting during the end of the shot clock period to trick the offense into shooting early, what should you do?

Bench warning for the first offense, bench technical for the second offense.

Answer: For the first offense, issue a warning to Team A’s bench. For the second offense, issue a Bench Technical, which is also an indirect technical to the Head Coach of Team A and a loss of coaching box privileges.

Rule references:

10-5-1-D: .... Disrespectfully addressing, baiting or taunting an opponent

4-19-24…. An unsporting foul is a noncontact technical foul which consists of unfair, unethical, dishonorable conduct or any behavior not in accordance with the spirit of fair play.

Billy:

Is this your IAABO Board Interpreter's advice as to how to handle the Situation or has IAABO's State Interpreter or the CIAC's State Interpreter officially made a Ruling on this Situation?
