The assistant walking out onto the court and clapping, I might not have given that one, but I wasn't in the game situation (after calling the other 5 technicals). Just a matter of opinion. Now if this is a soccer game, he get the yellow guaranteed (if I can give it) for entering the field.

As for some preventative officiating, I would have talked to both coaches and both captains after about the 3rd technical. I would have given everyone, including the other team (who seemed to be behaving) a warning that no more of what was going on would be tolerated.

Speedy, just curious why you would apply a different standard of judgement to the coaches action in bball as opposed to soccer. A T seems about equivalent to a yellow card to me.
