10.3.4 SITUATION C: Fifteen minutes before the game is scheduled to start, team member A1 dunks. Two minutes later A2 dunks. RULING: A1 and A2 are both charged with a technical foul. In addition, the head coach is charged indirectly with a technical foul for each act. The two fouls are team fouls for purpose of reaching the bonus. When dunking occurs during the pregame practice period the official notifies the team member and the head coach, but does not sound the whistle. If the game is played in a state which utilizes the optional coaching box, the coach should be informed that he/she has lost the privilege of using the coaching box for the entire game.

Technical on the player, indirect to the coach and his player has bought his coach a seatbelt for the game.

and if you really don't like the coach maybe a 3rd will dunk or try too, and you can show him the door for a real short night! 3 quick indirects.

No, the two dunks will really be 3

and I would like to think the coach would control his players at that point.

I would like to see A1, A2, and A3 dunk prior to the game. I just hope I wasn't the R that had to tell the coach your are out of here. I wonder if I or anyone will ever see that.

The problem is that the majority of officials wouldn't apply the rule correctly.
