What are the most common technical fouls?

[Robert E. Harrison]

I have had more problems with pregame dunks and pregame disrespect (stomping on mascot at opponents center court or running around the opponent during pregame warmups). Usually I can tell a coach to behave and that does the trick unless he really wants a T.

#1 reason: player/coach is being an a$$hole.

Why not just sound your whistle before you enter the visual confines of the court, like they do in the Lone Star State?

1. SPORTING BEHAVIOR. The NFHS Basketball Rules Committee continues to be concerned about the following behaviors:
A. Pregame Situations. Teams entering the gymnasium prior to the contest should not run through the area occupied by the opposing team or under the basket where opponents are warming up. Teams should only enter, jog or warm-up on their own half of the court. Gatherings intended to motivate a team after the warm-up period, during or following player introductions and post-game celebrations should be performed in the area directly in front of the team bench. If during the pregame or half-time warm-up period one team leaves the floor, the other team should not use the entire court; teams should only warm-up on their half of the court. Only authorized personnel should be permitted on the floor. All spectators should be in designated areas
