Sounds like two roads to the same destination.
I find it important to distinguish the bench technicals from the team technicals. (Player, sub, and head coach Ts are more obvious.) A few years ago, someone on our board took away the coaching box for a second d.o.g. warning (the second being water on the court after a time out). Of course, we know that to be incorrect, as multiple d.o.g. infractions are always team technicals.
While we don't have to verbalize "bench" or "team," I think a little preventive medicine could help in these matters.
