I disagree with this as well. Not all T's are created equal. If the infraction involves blatant cheating, the state should know about it. If they chose not to take any action, that's their prerogative. In this case a coach may be only too happy to trade a team technical for the opportunity to break down the opponents defense for his team on video at halftime. The coach is gaming the system, and gaining an advantage that a single team T cannot begin to nullify. The official is not empowered to do anything more to remedy the situation. The state can, if they choose. But only if they know.
In general, the more unusual an incident or situation is, the more likely that the state should be informed about it.
And no, I'm not suggesting that we should be filing a report after every game.
