Just to state my case again, i did issues a couple of warnings. I told the coach the only time his players could stand was to cheer spontainiously. He said, but they're cheering. I told him how they can't stand all the time, only to meet a player coming off the floor, during a time out, and to cheer for a good play. i warned him earlier in the game, when i doubled checked who was the head, and who was the assistant coaches. after i read him the rule, or what i believed to be the correct interperation of the rule, i noticed his players standing and cheering for no apparant reason. That's when i called the T. three quarters of the bench personal, the assitant coach and manager included were all standing. That's when i assessed the technical.
P.S. turned out to be a 5 point game, non offending team missed both shots.
Cheers, T
