If you aren't familiar with the term intentional technical foul, learn it now. 
Don't let the jargon intimidate you, it simply means that there was intentional contact during a dead ball as opposed to flagrant contact. Under NFHS rules, it's administered just as any other technical foul--2 shots and the ball at the division line.
PS Unsporting technical fouls are for non-contact situations as the NFHS defines an unsporting foul as a non-contact foul. Therefore, verbal comments or inappropriate gestures would fall within this category. |
One of the things I am going to suggest to our rules interpreter this next season is to really discuss the differences between these Technicals. I think a lot of new officials do get confused when it comes to this.
