[QUOTE=Back In The Saddle;540700]That's what I used to think as well. But that doesn't seem to square with Scrappy's case play ruling, in particular scenario c. In it you have two non-fighters leaving for A, a non-fighter and a fighter leaving for B. It would seem that A would get 4 free throws and B would get 2.
However, the ruling says: "No free throws are awarded for the simultaneous technical fouls as the number of bench personnel leaving the bench and the penalties are the same for both teams."[/QUOTE
I agree with you , this one confused me as well...in the case play we have no free throws even though it would seem that there is an uneven number of penalties since only one of the four fought. Are they really saying that regardless of whether they fight or not, if you leave the bench area you are getting one flagrant technical and getting tossed, so if you leave AND fight you don't get an additional flagrant technical, still just the one? It seems inconsistent since there is a technical foul penalty listed for each offense (leaving and fighting)....obviously the fact that B7 fought impacts the number if indirect t's going to the coach (two for team B coach and one for team A coach) but you don't shoot ft's based on the number of indirects...not saying the above is correct, just trying to fill in the gaps..appreciate the back and forth to help clarify this one..
