Did I get this right?

How is he continuing to harp? He was just T'd and your partner has told him he has to sit. If anything, stand on the other side of the lane. If he's going to harp, he'll do it if you're at the other end of the court, regardless and I hope my partner(s) will deal accordingly.

Snake-eyes, when it comes to player T's, I'll still give the explaination but I'm not hanging out to chatter. I've got free throws to administer. That's the way they want it done in my parts.

No, his player was T'd, so he doesn't lose his coaching box. We'll have to agree that your association has different mechanics, but Snake-eyes is correct in that switching is an optional mechanic following a technical (for both NCAA and NFHS).

Thanks to those that replied. We all try to use both the rule book and common sense when we make calls and to correct things when we screw up. Unfortunely, sometime the rules don't support common sense and the rules have to take precedent. (How many of you have given the ball to the wrong team for a throw-in and whistled it back after the thow-in ended when you reconized your error.)

I did like JR's answer and the reasons for it. Truth be known, nobody in the gym would have known the difference if we shot the penalities out of order or not. In retrospect I should have let it go, but I try to use these out of season contests to improve and learn. Funny how a little pressure changes you thought processes.
