Reality Check

In high school the penalty for an intentional technical is the same as a regular technical foul charged against a player. Two shots and the ball and the foul is counted against that player.

Under NCAA rules there is a difference -- on a regular technical foul (unsporting, etc.) you shoot two and go back to the point of interruption. On an intentional technical you shoot two and the other team gets the ball at mid-court.

So if the administration is the same for an intentional technical as for a plain-ol' technical, why bother making the distinction?
