Another study/test question: At halftime, the officials are notified that the head coach of team A has taken the official score book into his locker room. Ruling: Technical foul on head coach of team A.

In my mind I had this lumped in with using replay equipment,
a megaphone, etc. during the game so I put true. Upon further review I see that these items are not all lumped together so what is the penalty for the coach taking the book? By golly, we'll just give that so and so a good talking to!!

I would be concerned that changes had been made. Not points as that would be too obvious, but individual fouls. A comparison to the visotirs book would seem to be warrented.

I have never seen a coach to this. They usually have other things to worry about.

Making sure the scorekeeper knows that the book is to remain at the table is something at needs to be done pre-game.

We discussed this in another thread
 

We concluded that the rule says the official book must stay at the table but that the rule does not state a penalty. Many advoacted for a tech, but it depends on how you see it. Again, not likely to happen. If it did at the varsity level, I would see a tech being in order, but others reasonably disagree with this conclusion.

Not sure how somebody would grade this one on a real test because you can award the T but it is not mandatory.

Sure you're not looking at an NCAA test? This is an indirect/direct team technical per NCAA rules.

Nope. This is question #21 from the Louisiana High School Athletic Association 2003 Supervised Basketball Officials'
Examination Part II Even Test. (I don't know what Part II means. Even means that there are two different tests, even and odd, with the same questions in different order, so you can't cheat off the guy next to you. Do they have that other places?) I think maybe they were so worn out when they finished naming the test that it made them kinda screwy on some of the questions.
