Three rec games today - the final one was a boys HS contest. As the teams are warming up, we're sitting behind the scorer's table, catching a few moments of rest but still watching the warm-ups. Blue #34 attempts a dunk and grabs the rim. From my chair, my first sitting technical foul. #34 hears my whistle, looks over and sees the T. I interrupt my break, walk over to the scorer, and report the T. I see #34 walk over to his coach and tell him what happened. The coach, and his wife, walk over and ask me what happened. I tell him we're starting the game with a technical foul on #34, that he loses the coaching box and cannot stand. "You're kidding! Why?" I explain it. #34 walks over and tells me that Myers Park got 2 warnings and no T last week when they dunked during warmups. "Well, it might have been a warning last week and it might a warning next week. But this week, it's a T." Then, after we start the game, the coach is sitting but his assistant is standing. I tell him to sit, they tell me that wasn't the rule last week.

I'm still trying to figure that one out, too.
