Team Tech?

This is similar to the situation where a team scores a late basket and 6 team members leave the bench to celebrate on the court prematurely. Same thing. Charge just one T.

Chuck,

Sounds like a stretch to me.

So, if one guy took off his jersey, it would be a personal tech and count toward one of his 5 fouls or 2 techs? But, if 2 or more take their's off, then it's only a Team tech? Not one of the 5 personals and not one of the 2 techs? Lessening the penalty for more infractions doesn't sound right.

Who said this is similar to 6 people celebrating instead of 6 people dunking? Where is this ruling posted?
