And the coach is also going to be definitely right too. That's because you're making up your very own Old School rules again. You can't issue a DOG technical foul without a team warning being entered in the score book first and the head coach also being informed of such.

How are you going to justify what you're telling people to do if an interpreter/assignor/evaluator then asks you or them why there wasn't a team warning put in the score book first? You can get away with stuff like that in your rec leagues, but I sureasheck wouldn't recommend that anyone else try it in a real game.

If you're going to tell a player not to touch the ball, fine. Don't call a technical foul for repeating that act though unless you've followed the correct procedure first.
