This has been a common source of discussion almost annually at preseason meetings. Some have a hard time wrapping their minds around the indirect T. I always try to explain that the indirect isn't actually a foul. It's simply a way of tracking how many Ts have been called on bench personnel.
Once one grabs the concept that an indirect T never happens without an accompanying direct T, it seems to click.
