Adam is correct. The weak link in the chain, however -- at least around here -- has been an occasional neglect of the necessary reporting to the state the official needs to do the night of or morning after the infraction. Some states require a report to the state for even an unsporting technical. Others for two technicals or a flagrant on a player or an adult bench personnel ejection. It's up to us to know what the states in which we work require and to comply with what's expected of us.
