Mark, I had an indirect T last week when the defender reached through the boundary and slapped the ball out of the inbounders hand. I went to the table (
all the way to the table) but the scorer just had no idea what I was talking about. So you're not alone
It took me a while to explain. No, it doesn't count toward disqualification; no, it's doesn't count toward the bonus; yes, it's a technical, but he gets three of these, instead of only two.
Indirect technicals are basically anything that is not unsportsmanlike. Anything that's administrative, any of the pre-game crap (dunking, etc), any kind of delay, any uniform issues, any fan issues.
By the way, how did you end up recording the indirect T in the scorebook? A little "I" in the box for the technical?
