Probably no T here from me.I suspect that (a) happens far more often than (b), but I agree with the general principle that technical fouls are almost never "automatic" but sometimes obvious and easy to call.
This sounds a lot like like a common sense. How dare you bring common sense into a discussion about NFHS basketball rules.
