I have seen this before somewhere. Was this a case play or interp, or has it just been on the study guide before?
I say it is true based on 10.4.4B which states that similar multiple infractions at the same time are charged with a single team technical rather than individually and, as is this case since bench personnel are involved it is also and indirect on the HC.
But the answer key says false.  |
The way I’m reading things in the rule book I think the difference is the OP took place before the game started. For example, if two players for Team A dunk during warm-ups, both players are penalized and the HC picks up two indirect technical fouls. (10-4-1, situation C). So in this case all of the team members would take the hit. Again, that’s my best guess.
