A "T" is not just another foul. JMO. You get 5 fouls, but if the first 2 are "T's" you don't get the last 3. If you get 2 "T's" in one game you get to sit for 2 more games, player or coach.
"T's" are special. I have several referees in my association that have never given one. They consider themselves to be patient and understanding.....

Technicals in my opinion are a part of the game. Do you have to write up a hold, block, or push?
Our association is specific that for routine technical fouls there doesn't need to be a report- only if something is out of the ordinary.
Some one in another thread made reference to an NBA official saying offensive fouls being just like a technical fouls and need to be called more often.
If you ask me, more emphasis should be placed on intentional fouls than technical fouls.
