Coach on court

NIT game last night, very end of first half. Coach Mike Davis for IU was about 10 ft. or more on the court in the official's face while play was going on. Wanted a foul call on the other end on a three-pt attempt by Bracey Wright. Davis, IMO, actually interfed with the official's ability to call the continuing action. Heck, he could've almost blocked the Vandy kid's desperation shot! Why was no T issued in this case?? Did the officials just want to get to halftime (only about 2 secs. to play at the time).

Probably because every technical foul that a referee calls in college is scrutinized a million times by assignors and others. What could you have done to avoid it? Was there a call you missed prior to the coach coming on the floor that you could have made?

College coaches can run up and down the sidelines raving like lunatics and it's just accepted as the norm. Since nothing is done about it, I can only assume that college officials are being told to let the coaches go nuts unless they toss a chair, assault an official, or set a pick on the other teams best player.
