2) If he knew exactly who commited the act would that be a Direct Technical on the offender or still Bench?
3) Does the Bench Technical count towards the Team's Foul Total?

10-4 "The head coach is responsible for his/her own conduct and behavior, as well as . . . all other bench personnel."
The bench offender didn't do himself or his coach any favors.
1) Yes. Coach loses his box.
2) Yes. Counts toward potential disqualification (2 T's or 5 personal fouls)
3) Yes.
