My first technicals

[Brad]

First ball was live.

I guess an intentional could have been a way to go.

Absolutely. Contact fouls during live ball cannot be technicals unless it is for fighting (which is automatically considered a flagrant technical).

As for the technical for swearing, I think that you did the right thing... If everyone in the gym can hear it, you need to penalize it -- no warning necessary. If not too many people hear it you can give a warning -- use your judgement.
