Technical fouls and coaches

[lukealex]

Reading old threads I came across this one:
http://www.officialforum.com/thread/19037

My question is about the technical fouls on the coaches. If you don't want to read the old thread, here is the situation. Head coach gets one T arguing an intentional foul call. Another intention foul is called shortly after the first. The assistant coach procides to argue and gets one T then ejected. Can someone clear this up to as why the coach (with one direct and two indirect T's) also gets ejected? What are indirect T's?

Which coach are you talking about?

For the record, any player or coach can be ejected with a flagrant foul. You do not need to get two directs or 3 indirects to get ejected. All it takes is one flagrant T and they offender is ejected.

Indirect Ts are a classification given to a coach when basically bench personnel get direct technical fouls. A head coach is the only person that can get indirect Ts and is ejected if he/she gets 3 of them.

I am also going to assume we are talking NF rules right?
