In an NCAA rules (W) game, what warrants and ejection of the coach on technical fouls.
The rulebook states 2 direct fouls, 1 direct and 2 indirect, or 3 indirect.
The question is, when is a technical foul indirectly assessed to the Head Coach.
In a game recently, the opposing team compiled 3 total techs. One on the coach, and 2 on the players.
Now this wasn't realized by the officiating crew, and wasn't discovered until well after the game that this may have resulted in the ejection of the coach. Rule 10-2-12 states:
EJECTION: All technical fouls from section 3 (player/substitue technicals) and 4 (Bench Technicals) shall apply toward ejection when the following have been assessed. 'see above'. When the foul is charged to the offender (if not the head coach) as a direct technical foul, it is also charged as an INDIRECT technical foul to the head coach. When the head coach is the offender, the foul is charged directly to him.
Now since the coach had one already, and the players each received direct techs, and according to the excerpt:
When the foul is charged to the offender (if not the head coach) as a direct technical foul, it is also charged as an INDIRECT technical foul to the head coach., is this grounds for ejection.
It is too late now since the game is well over, but if it is indeed grounds for ejection, should it also be reported to the conference for the mandatory 1 game suspension to be handed out?
I thought this would be the best place to ask such an intricate question
