Fifteen minutes before the game is scheduled to start, team member A1 dunks. Two minutes later A2 dunks.

RULING: A1 and A2 are both charged with a technical foul. In addition, the head coach is charged indirectly with a technical foul for each act. The two fouls are team fouls for purpose of reaching the bonus. When dunking occurs during the pregame practice period the official notifies the team member and the head coach, but does not sound the whistle. If the game is played in a state which utilizes the optional coaching box, the coach should be informed that he/she has lost the privilege of using the coaching box for the entire game. (10-4-1i)

So in this situation just two team fouls in the book, correct? Not four?

Why four?

The penalty is a DIRECT to the player, INDIRECT to the coach, and A team foul. The INDIRECT is part of the initial act and not a separate act to count towards the team foul.

Just asking to be 100% sure. I thought it was two.

It's important to understand what an indirect technical foul is.
It is always secondary, something applied to the coach as a consequence for someone under his control getting stupid. It is never its own foul.
