I'll start giving everyone a nice big Oklahoma Hi and Hello here in my first post (been reading for a while, great site and great info/answers).

I've been reffing high school (mainly JV, some varsity) and decided to give my hand a try at some intramural BB (It's not the best BB, but its 4 days a week, 45 min max real time games and 8 bucks a game so its nice to have the cash).

We use NCAA rules w/ some timing modifications. The clock only stops on timeouts during the entire game. Often teams in close games will try to foul and use TO's to stop the clock during the shots. Of course, teams will run out of TO's but many realize that the T that comes with excessive TO's is worth the risk (esp. since many teams just can't make a free-throw; 3pt shots yes - free throws no). Now our supervisor tells me that to limit this charge an indirect T to the TO calling player (if in excess) and eject on the 3rd (for some reason teams have the same player call all their TO's). Now finally to my question (I know I'm long winded, if it gets too bad just let me know), where is the justification in giving the indirect T? In Fed its just a team foul and if memory serves no indirect at all to anyone. Same in NCAA, or is there some alteration I'm missing?
