Don't agree completely with that one,Mark.Incitement by the bench isn't the only criteria used.The usual one used is that the official must positively identify which team's supporters are responsible,have game management warn 'em,and then give a T if that team's supporters persist in whatever they're doing wrong-i.e. noisemakers,throwing things on the floor,etc. The team's bench may not be involved at all. Use with extreme care(if at all)! As in not recommended!
Casebook play 2.8.1COMMENT & SITUATION cover it well.
