Coach got rung last night

[umpire99]

If I remember correctly, the rulebook states that a player or coach are ejected after being assessed two technical fouls. It does not say that a player or coach can only be assessed two technical fouls. Could the referee continue calling T's until the coach finally did leave. I know this would not have changed the outcome of the game, but I think it would have either made the coach leave sooner or brought on a much stiffer penalty for the coach from the "higher ups" when the incident was reported.

Or it mighta made the coach madder and delayed his eventual departure further. Iow you're taking your chances if you try that.

I doubt it would have done either.

Under ncaa once a team member or coach accumulates enough T's to be DQ'ed he cannot get more T's (consequence of famous incident I believe).

I believe under NFHS you can keep T'ing them up as often as you like until they leave the confies, but why bother?
