Coaches rule

Assuming the technical was only for standing up, no.

Unfortunately, yes.

What people need to remember is that a T charged to a head coach (directly or indirectly) does not require them to remain seated for the entire game - it merely revokes the coaching box. Unfortunately, I don't think that those of us in coaching box states are familiar enough with the provisions of 10-5-1 and 10-5-2.

Okay, well, in my own defense (in saying that it would be within the rules to give this T) I haven't heard it interpreted this way before. I"m glad to stand corrected. I think a T is out of line in this situation, as I said.
