Philosophy and How many "T"s?

[ken roberts]

By rule (10-2), each sub would get a Tech and you would shoot 10 free-throws. No indirect T is to be given to the coach. Since 5 T's were given, obviously, this counts as five fouls to the bonus.

Now i agree that the penalty of 5 T's doesn't exactly fit the crime here. Giving one T for failure to control the bench is a decent compromise, but isn't supported by the rules. I would have just sent all the players back to the table, make them check-in, and not let them enter until the next dead-ball...
