Well, I don't know if it's only GA, but it's not FED. Why would you keep the coach from huddling during technical FTs or while replacing a DQ'd player? I can almost understand the restriction when there's a player injured on the floor, b/c you don't want a coach to get a free TO by faking an injury. But in the other situations, nobody would do them just to get a few seconds in a huddle.
Then it must be a GHSA specific mechanic. I don't profess to understand the reasoning behind all of the stipulations, but I do remember a great deal of discussion in our association meetings about this.

In GA, we have 28 associations. The state has several rule clinics at different locations. I attended one and several other members attended others. We didn't come away with the same understanding, hence, the great deal of discussion. I do remember at the clinic I attended (I even took notes) that the coach could not huddle his team during a FT when the lane was cleared.
