Technical Fouls

[Chris Whitten]

Due to having crap for a memory, I am attempting to create a more user friendly version of the technical foul chart in the back of the NFHS rules book. Whatever comes of this exercise will be offered to my high school association and the rec league I call in for instructional purposes. Your additions or deletions are encouraged. Just want a good, solid way to remember it. Here it is so far:

All TFs count toward the team foul count. The exception is the Indirect TF which may be viewed as an "also assessed to" TF meant to penalize the head coach for action of his bench personnel or illegal activity during warmups.

All TFs on players or bench personnel count toward their 5 personals.

Head coach always loses standing privilege after a Direct or Indirect TF.

The Team shall be assessed a TF for the following (No TF to the coach):
*Book changes/Not having book ready
*More than 5 players on the court
*Excess timeouts
*Violation after delay warning
*Team not ready to start the half
*All players not returning at approx. the same time
