Administrative T's quarters apart

Unless their first mistake was not having their roster and starters ready before the ten minute lime limit. That would have been one technical foul. Any scorebook changes (wrong number, not in scorebook, etc.) after the ten minute time limit would be another technical foul, and at that point they would have reached the "administrative scorebook limit" of two technical fouls (maximum one before, maximum one after, ten minute time limit) for such scorebook infractions. Any additional scorebook problems would just be corrected and play on.

Then again, how many of us have charged technical fouls for rosters not being submitted on time? For me, thirty-seven years, zero technical fouls for such infractions. In my little corner of Connecticut, technical fouls for rosters not being submitted on time just aren't charged.

Of course, the usual caveat, "When in Rome ...".

The penalty part of 10-1-2 says:

(Art.2) One foul only per team regardless of the number of infractions.

It does not specify which infraction happens first or second. Not sure how you can give more than one technical if that is what the penalty suggests.

The specifics about when you penalize Art. 2a is stated because when the ball is live it is too late. Art. 2b, c, d state that you penalize when they occur. So if you do nothing in 2b, c, and d, then you have no technical (which could happen). You could go all game and not discover 2e.

So how do you give more than one T when the penalty makes it clear only one infraction is penalized?

You can incur one technical foul for a violation of Rule 10-1-1 and one technical foul for a violation of Rule 10-1-2. So, Billy is correct.

Bingo.

For all intents and purposes, here in my little corner of Connecticut, technical fouls for rosters not being submitted on time just aren't charged. Never have been, never will be. Most varsity games are played after a freshman game and a junior varsity game, and are often delayed. And then we always have late buses due to the traffic issues in this part of the state (not enough bridges over the Connecticut River). Game times are always an estimate at best.
