What if a coach/player keeps barking at an official when the ball is live, and finally crosses the line for a T. Do I need to wait for the next dead ball to issue the T or should I just stop the play and call it then?
Same question if a player/coach utters a profanity loud enough to be heard by a lot of people, even though it's not directed at the official.

- live ball = common, intentional or flagrant personal foul for contact.
- live ball= normal or flagrant technical foul for unsporting non-contact behavior.
Stop the play as soon as the coach commits the act. Rules reference is NFHS 4-19-5(d) for the coach. That's a direct technical btw.
From a POE in the 2004-05 rule book--
"The team huddle is not a safe haven for coaches' bad language." The NFHS wants the "T" called if the profanity is audible.
