A "stop sign"
that wasn't needed and what seems like a personal attack from a coach. I would have been there to administer the free-throws, but you would have first crack at all of these technical fouls. Situations where a partner should give a second (or third) technical should be when the possibility exists that an official has it in for a coach. I mean it could look like an official has it in for a coach. If a coach verbally attacks one official and doesn't back off after the first technical, what is wrong with an official giving both (or three
) technical fouls?
Like JR just said, the first technical is a warning so I would probably do without the almighty, must happen, seems to be required, robotic, mechanic.........stop sign. Just my opinion.
