I was officiating a girls BB game. After trying to use preventative officiating, I called a T on a coach for unsportsmanlike conduct, then a few more minutes later my partner called the second T on the coach. After my partner reported the T and conferring with my partner, I went over to inform the coach he was to leave the gym as this of course was his second direct T. He continued and became worse. I gave him another T before he left the gym, followed by a fourth.
All T's were recorded as team fouls. After finally having him leave the gym I also ejected the assistant coach. Six free throws were shot plus the ball out of bounds.
Please advise me as to:
I don't think I probably should have ejected the assistant coach as the head coaches third and fourth T's should have been indirect T's on the Assistant coach who is now in charge of her bench since the head coach had already been ejected??
Is this how this situation should be handled or should I just start a 30 second clock and let him continue to make rude unsportsmanlike comments etc.?
Is the number of free throws shot correct?
Of course I hope this never happens again. But any other info is appreciated as I just want to make sure we get this right next time.
I have been told by a person in my high school association that no more than 2 T's should have been assessed. That we should have momentarily suspended the game until the coach left. I suspose that would be ok if he left before the 30 seconds. I disagree however that an ejected coach should or can not have additional technicals assessed beccause he has already been ejected. That would allow coach any type of unsportsmanlike behavior or comment with no consequences.
I would appreciate any feedback.
