While reading rule book I came across indirect technical and direct technical. Whats the difference. How do you know which one to call. Also how do you administer a T do you go to the scorer and say T on coach? Also while refing my game last week I think I made the right call but not sure. A1 is in backcourt and passes to A2 in frontcourt but A2 muffed the ball and rolled into the backcourt and A2 got the ball. I called nothing because I thought Team A had to have control in the frontcourt but the parents didnt agree! Did I make the right call? Not sure. Also any advice would be great! Thanks guys.

Welcome to the forum, Travis. Just so happens to be my younger son's name. To answer your questions -
Basically, an indirect technical is a technical charged to the coach as a result of a technical foul called on one of his/her bench personnel, including players, asst coaches, trainers, etc. 3 indirects or one direct and 1 indirect gets the coach a trip to the locker room. Also can get an indirect T on coach if player dunks in warmups.
As far as mechanics in reporting technical, you've basically go it right. You go to the table and give signal for T, say "blue coach, technical foul, unsportsman-like conduct, 2 shots". Tell the coach he has lost the box and must stay seated. Clear the lane, 2 shots, ball at division line.
As far as your sitch, I'll let the group discuss as I think there will be some controversy. You did GOOD by not letting the fans influence you.
