I'm curious. Did charging the opponent with a technical foul get the underclassmen to the other game on time?
We don't know why the home coach was late. Perhaps a valid reason, perhaps not.
However, scheduling a second game for players to play in on the same night certainly doesn't seem very prudent. I wonder who the coach would blame if this game had gone into overtime?
Seems to me the technical was assessed moreso to please the visiting coach than anything else. Personally, I would not have called it. I think this penalty is more about fair play and assumes the coach is actually in the building but does not complete his duties. I've seen a state Elite Eight game delayed 45 minutes because one team brought the wrong color uniforms. No one even suggested a technical foul.
Don't be a plumber.
