#1.) If the bench says airball! I got no problem with that and neither should you. That's apart of the game.

JR, my question to you. Which do you use, a POE on a newsletter or the rulebook?

NFHS, bench technical counts as a indirect to the coach. Interesting enough, this year in the NCAA, they did away with the indirect technical to the coach, or IMO, they might as well have done away with it. They are saying that Indirect T doesn't count toward ejection which means you might as well not count it at all. However, they changed the definition to now include Bench Technical. Now in this case, in the NCAA, you can not assert a technical foul to the bench, you must give a direct to a player on the bench, and the coach gets a bench technical which does count towards ejection. All indirect technicals to the coach in NCAA no longer count towards ejection. Changed it this year, but didn't hear about it in meetings.
