Wow. Good point. And I thought that I had my previous post all thought out.

So let's go back to where the ball is not yet at the disposal, and the coach starts screaming "They've got six players, isn't that a technical foul?". Are we really going to sound our whistle to stop play, count the team members on the court at the time, meet with our partner to discuss, and inform the coach that we can't charge a technical foul because the ball is dead, and then politely ask the opposing coach to please remove one of his extra players without penalty? Are we all really going to do that? Or will we be patient enough to hold our whistle until the ball becomes live (at disposal) and then charge the team with a technical? Or will we just sound our whistle and charge the team technical foul during the dead ball (clock running)?
