I won't disagree with Mark, but are NF officials smart enough
to keep up with this. I have officials who still cannot figure out the difference in a direct or an indirect 'T' to the head coach and how many it take for ejection. It sure is simple to award two free throws for a NF 'T'. I've seen some officials hold a 'T' until the coach's team gets the ball before calling the 'T'. So it will hurt more, this rule change will fix that. I usually give the 'T' once the coach gets my attention and will not make down. I called more player technicals last season then any other time in my 20 years of officiating. Player's attitudes at the HS and JHS level is getting worse each year. I will start this season with a 0 tolerance level for players and I'll give the coaches a lot of rope. It will be interesting to see if the NF rules committee will follow the NCAA's lead.
