Fortunately I went over and asked and they had recorded it incorrectly, so we got it fixed and it didn't impact the game at all as far as being in the bonus, etc. My question though is should the table be expected to understand all of these NCAA rules re: techs, or do you literally have to explain when you report to them that "technical foul 33 white, indirect does not count towards tfc, nor towards 1/5 to DQ on the player"?
One year at a JUCO game, we had a double tech and the tech was the home player's 5th foul. Score keeper has no clue and probably didn't count them as fouls on the player, but the coach subbed for 5-foul player anyways to get her cooled down. And since she never reentered the game after that, chaos was averted.
