Bench personnel or not

MTD,
Do these plays also result in an indirect to the coach?

1. A1 misses a last second try at the end of the 1st Quarter and curses loudly after the horn has sounded and the try is over. A1 is charged with a technical foul.

2. A1 makes a last second buzzer beater to end the first quarter, but the official waves it off saying that it was not released before the horn. A1 then berates the official and is charged with a technical foul.

In both plays, it depends on exactly when A1 got the T. You haveta string some rules together on this one:
-Casebook play 10.4.1SitB says that all team members are bench personnel during an intermission, and if a team member gets a T during that time, the head coach is also charged with an indirect T.
-Rule 5-5-1 states that the intermission after the first quarter is 1 minute long.
-Rule 2-12-6 states that the timer has to start the stopwatch to time the 1 minute intermission.
-rule 2-12-4 says that the timer has to sound a warning signal 15 seconds before the end of the timed 1 minute intermission.

Ergo and ipso facto,in both cases if A1 received the T during the timed 1 minute intermission, the head coach gets an indirect T also. If A1 receives the T before the timer starts timing the intermission, there is no indirect T on the coach.

Almost the exact same play was posted on one of the "other" boards a coupla days ago. That play referred to a player getting a T after the first half ended. The same rules apply to all intermissions.
