Accordingly:
  • The substitute is charged with two technical fouls (one of them intentional) and is disqualified.
  • The offending team's head coach is charged with an indirect technical foul. In every state except my own, the offending team's head coach loses the privilege of the coaching box.
  • Two team fouls are added to the team's foul count.
  • The offended team receives five free throws (two for the technical foul and three for the intentional technical foul), and receives the ball at the division line for a throw-in.
Sorry, but the penalty for a technical foul is ALWAYS two free throws and never one or three. That’s sclearly spelled out in the penalty section for fouls in the rules book. Only a personal foul can result in three free throws. Hence, the quoted play ruling from about twenty years ago.
