How and why could you call a T on a coach who was now ejected for his 2 indirects and one direct?
Once your ejected get them out of the building nothing more.!

As I stated in my original post, I had not realized he was already gone. The T's happened so fast.
But, if a coach was already ejected and being escorted off the court and decided to flip me the bird, I would T'em!
He is still liable for his actions and his team would be penalized.
I looked up the rule and I found nothing that says you cannot T a coach who was already ejected.
Maybe you have a rule reference for this?
I may have just started another thread!

I cannot provide rule reference nor can I provide casebook play.
Once the coach is ejected (we know there are special exceptions for high school players ) they are no longer a participant in the contest. I would equate this now to a fan who needs to be escorted out. Game management now has responsibility to deal with this unruly non-partcipant. It will be up to the league to issue further penalties or sanctions.
If he does not want to go the game is a forfeit. If he is leaving and flips me off I am not going to ring him up again. I will file the necessary reports etc.
Where do you draw the line 2 directs, 3 directs, 4 directs? You may have a forfeit but where is the line? In this case the coach had two indirects and two directs.
You are right there isn't a reference that prevents the calling 4 t's on a coach nor is there a reference that explicitly permits it either.
The NFHS rules provide no definitive answers, however I would look to both the NBA and NCAA by analogy; they both have interpreted that an ejected person can pick up no more T's.
He needs to be penalized not his team, particularly a bunch 10-12 year olds.
