So you're telling us that a T cannot be assessed to a team for the behavior of a team supporter? I don't think so my geriatric partner.

Um, no. I never said that anywhere. I said
verbatim-
"It's usually a last resort to throw "T"s at at fans anyway". Basically, that's exactly what case book play 2.8.1 recommends--
"this authority must be used with extreme caution and discretion". I agree with the direction that the FED has given us.
And I 'll stick to my previous statements too. Someone who is in the stands is
NOT a bench coach, by rule. Unless the Varsity coach is specifically listed on the score sheet as an assistant coach, he's a fan.
If you consider the Varsity coach as part of the JV staff, then are you prepared to immediately "T" up the varsity coach when you see him up in the stands? Even before he says something? After all, if you want to insist that he's an assistant JV coach, then he's illegally off the bench as per rule 10-4-4, isn't he?
