Could someone post this case play. I don't get one in my association, we use NCAA rule book and local modifications.

I always use my whistle when giving pregame warnings. The reason is simply so no player can come afterwards
"why did you T me"
"you hanged on the ring"
"but you didn't warn me"
then you simply end up giving more T's then you need. I don't know if there is an official FIBA mechanic on this though

Sure...10.3.4 Sit 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 purposes 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.

Edit for follow up question:
What if 3 team members dunk during the pre-game practice period before the official gets a chance to tell the coach about the 1st dunk?

That's a 3rd indirect on the coach, and he's ejected. The assistant coach takes over for the game, and the coaching box may not be utilized.

This actually happened in a game in, I believe, Idaho, in around 1997 or 1998. I saw the story on ESPN.com, but haven't been able to find it since then. APparently the kids were mad at the coach, and did it intentionally. They got kicked off the team the next week.
