NFHS Mechanics Question

[Scrapper1]

The calling official reports the technical foul, but it is suggested (it might even be the official mechanic now) that the non-calling official tell the head coach that he's lost the coaching box privileges (if applicable).

If it's a player's fifth foul, the same thing should happen. The calling official reports it, then the non-calling official notifies the coach and starts the 20 second timer, then notifies the player.

Years ago, I had a buddy tell me about a situation that happened in one of his wreck league games. A coach got so mad at his partner for calling a T that he punched him in the mouth and almost knocked him out!

I only relate this because this is the one time of which I am aware that the non-calling official reported the technical.

And hopefully the flagrant T that followed!

Thanks for all the responses. I thought I had read somewhere that the non-calling official would report. Perhaps I had confused that with what Scrapper is stating here, of the non-calling official telling the head coach. I thought the reference was in the Officials Manual, but I do no have my book.
