Head coach late arrival to game

It's true... It's true...

To clarify, any T charged (directly or indirectly) to either coach is charged against both (it doesn't count twice, however, in reaching the bonus situation). The more proper statement would be that if they combined reach the proper number of technicals, both will be ejected - not that both are ejected after one T on either one.

NCAA 10-10-6:
The head coach or co-head coaches shall be ejected after (a) two
direct technical fouls have been assessed to him, her or them, (b) three
bench direct technical fouls have been charged to his or her team or (c) a
combination of one direct technical foul and two bench technical fouls have
been assessed to him, her or them.

Also, Nevada, I seem to remember seeing somewhere that co-head coaches were only ok in NCAA-W, but I can't find that in the book. Could you point me in the right direction?

I wrote each not either. Perhaps you misread what I wrote. We agree, but you seem to think that I provided incorrect information (which I may have, but only because my NCAA knowledge is not totally current, not because I didn't understand the concept of what the rule used to be).

I remember reading that as well and that is why I wrote what I did about it being specific to NCAAW, but upon performing a quick check just now I can't find it either. Perhaps it was in a past version of the rules. I'll have to do more research on this.

However, I can point out that both coaches are not allowed to stand when there are co-head coaches.
From the 2007 NCAA rules book:
10-11-1

A.R. 213.

A team has co-head coaches. RULING: Before the start of the game, the team shall designate who the coach with “standing” privileges shall be. Both coaches shall be assessed all direct technical fouls.

It was more of a point of semantics (and your way definately made more sense). You wrote 'if each gets a technical foul,' meaning head coach #1 gets T'ed up, then head coach #2 gets T'ed up. I read 'if each gets a technical foul' to mean that head coach #1 gets T'ed up and, by rule, that T is also charged against head coach #2.
