half. Shortly after the signal, A1 dunks the ball and hangs on to the rim. RULING:
A1 is assessed a technical foul for dunking a dead ball. The foul is also charged
indirectly to the head coach and results in the loss of coaching-box privileges
since A1 is considered bench personnel. The third quarter begins with Team B
being awarded two free throws and the ball at the division line. The alternating possession
arrow is not affected and remains unchanged. (4-34-2; 5-6-2
Exception 4)

In this case play is the fact that he hangs on the rim addressed? Obviously this is the rule and I respect that, but in my opinion the time between horn and dunk better be very obvious to sit the coach for the rest of the game.
