Fight between teamates

Just my 2 cents but if it spilled out onto the court I would have T'ed. If the coaches could have controlled it and it did not interfere with the game I let it go, but since it sounds like it interfeared with the game I would deal with it. New question though. I'm thinking I would have to T up both players. If you were to penelize is this what you would do?

In 4-19-4 it states fighting is a flagrant act. It doesn't say who is envolved, plainly states it's flagrant. Easy enough. I certainly wouldn't ignore it.

Dan's right. This IS a fight and subject to the rules governing them.

if they are on the bench and you T them up, do we then have issues with the coach sticking around?

no rule book so unable to answer my own question right now

sorry, should have said, if they are on the bench and you give them both flagrants and toss them, does that affect the coach and his ability to stick around

My bet is a girl is involved and she should be ejected too.....or maybe not....I did get a big laugh out of this one...you never know what is going to happen at a basketball game.....

Technicals on bench personnel are charged indirectly to the head coach so the head coach would receive 2 indirect T's of the 3 indirect T's required to disqualify him.

Actually, if he gets a Direct T after receiving 2 Indirects, he's gone too. Don't have my books on me, but I believe it says something to the effect of 2 direct or 3 total to eject the coach.
