13. While the official passes team A’s bench, someone from the bench utters uncomplimentary language. The official is not able to designate which bench personnel uttered the words. Official charges a technical foul to the head coach. Is the official correct?

Yes, the official is correct. Rule 10 Section 4 Art 1c>

Here is what I wrote in the second post in this thread.

It appears from their rule citation that IAABO is one of those others who have taken this stance.
