Not saying when I definitely would, but like I said, it's getting close.

So which player, team member, coach (bench personnel) is repeatedly committing technical foul infractions? We currently have two people with a single such infraction and someone who has left with two.
This isn't a case of a coach saying to give him as many Ts as we want, he doesn't care, and isn't leaving.
This rule is not written to collectively penalize technical fouls by a team, but rather by individuals. Don't make it into something which it isn't. We need to adhere to the text of the rule as written.
