Years ago, a local church league had a similar rule that any player who picked up a technical foul had to sit out the next period. They also had a rule which said a shot from the backcourt was a technical foul. At the end of a men's game with a tie score, the point guard, arguably the team's best player, took a shot for the win from the backcourt. He missed. Now the other team had two opportunities to win the game at the free throw line. They missed both. Now the point guard was forced to sit out the overtime.
