1. Make sure I'm not killing a fast break or interupt the game in way that can cause crew problems (calling a technical foul on the head coach during a shot attempt for example).

2. Give the simple technical foul signal. For me the NBA T
3. report the T to the table. Direct Technical foul Red head coach or whoever it's on.

4. Get the crew together and discuss what I have, how many we are shooting if any, and how play is to resumed ( this is either can also be step 3 if we have multiple technical fouls or something wierd, or if i get that feeling that we need to discuss the procedure before reporting.)

5. Go opposite table if i have to and continue on with the game

Excellent post. I also agree with the NBA-style T looking less emotional.
