I asure you, these will probably not be the last questions I have, but if any of you could answer even 1 question, that would help me a ton.
Question (1): How do you report a technical foul to the table for a player/coach. Once you give it to the coach, do you just walk away or do you turn around and say to the table technical foul, white head coach? Also, here is a situation. A6 (bench personel) yells at the ref and gets a technical foul. This means the head coach also gets an indirect. Correct me if I am wrong, but this only counts as 1 foul towards team foul count. How would you report this, do you say white 22, technical foul and then say indirect on white coach? Finally, if a player who is disqualified gets a technical foul, what happens?!
Stop clock (fist in air and whistle), signal T, and say, "Technical foul white coach" . Then look at partner, to be sure he sees what's happening, then go to the table, look at the book person and say, "Technical foul" while signalling with the T. Say, "White coach" while signalling a C. Then say, "Two shots". Check again with partner, and be sure he's got the right team lining up to shoot and that the lane is clear.

On bench personnel, same procedure, except that you also say quietly to the book person, "Will you just note that this is one indirect technical foul against the white coach?" Be sure she does it and does it in a way that will be usable later if necessary. Then proceed with shots.

Still legal. Nothing matters until the 10 minute mark!!

What Chuck said.

When watching, you watch what's importnat at that moment. And that can change from second to second. You have to have a good view of every possible situation, and then home in on whatever needs attention. This skill improves drastically the first time you miss an obvious illegal screen while you are watching for a travel by a player who's standing still holding the ball. Then you'll develop another level of this skill the first time you miss a blatant double dribble, because you're trying to see whether the post player has his knee too far "in"!

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!
Penalize fouls in the order they occur. A1 shoots. Then any B player shoots the T shots, and B gets the ball oob at the midcourt line.

YOU'RE WELCOME FOR EVERYTHING!!
