Third Direct Technical

[Jurassic Referee]

I don't believe there is an exact example for this situation. Once the coach is ejected any further infractions (IMO) should be treated no differently then if a fan were to commit the act. So in section 10 the penalty assessed is an indirect to the new coach. I wait to see if I am totally out to lunch on this one but it would need to be addressed by more then just a report and 2 more free throws. Again just my opinion and interpretation.

Please educate me further if this is just plain wrong.

Well, right off the bat, giving out technical fouls to a fan for doing something isn't usually a good idea. However, if you do decide to do that, it's a team technical foul(as per casebook play 2.8.1COMMENT) and the head coach would not get an indirect "T".

Never make a call that you can't back up with a rules citation of some type. And especially, don't be tossing coaches(no matter how pleasurable it may be be) if you can't find something in writing that will back you up later if questions get asked(which they will). Jmo.
