Unsporting Team Foul

[kzooref]

2024-2025 NFHS rules book lists rule 10 Section 2 Article 4 lists "committing an unsporting act under team technical. Can anyone provide an example of what this would include given that unsporting acts are specifically called out under player technical section 10-5?

Entire team yells something unsporting to an opposing player?

or, taking the court and running around / through the other team / not going in the shortest dierection.

I would love to see where the backup for that exists in the rule book. You may be right.

foul assessed for spectator behavior

and, case 10.4.2 (A inbounding after scoring a basket)

Was a specific rule / interp / POE several (maybe more than 10) years ago. I don't recall it being explicitly removed, but maybe I am wrong.

2011-12 Points Of Emphasis

Sporting Behavior. The NFHS Basketball Rules Committee continues to be concerned about the following behaviors:

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.
