When to shoot T ???

Yes, just as it would if, during the game, one of the bench players swore at the officials. It's a technical directly on that player, and it counts towards total player fouls, player technical fouls, and team fouls for the half. It's also assessed indirectly to the head coach.

We had a famous dead ball dunk here in Connecticut about thirty years ago. The facts are a little fuzzy in my mind, but I'll give it a try.

Small college game. Springfield at Southern Connecticut State College. Southern just barely wins. After the buzzer sounds to end the game, a Southern player dunks the ball in celebration. Official calls a technical foul. Springfield makes the foul shot(s), sending the game into overtime, which is finally won by Springfield.

Is there a moral to this story? At the buzzer, make eye contact with the table to make sure that everything is alright, and get out of the gym as soon as possible.

IMO, the seatbelt rule is designed to punish a coach who can't control his bench area. Seems very ticky-tack for me.

I'm always glad to have a reason to seatbelt a coach, ticky-tack or otherwise.

That's because you are so mean-spirited.

I hate it. If I was king, they'd have a 28 foot box all the way to the baseline.

Personally, I don't think that the box size has ever been a problem. The problems always have been:
1) coaches out on the floor or at the table.
2) coaches trying to officiate instead of sticking to coaching.
3) officials who ignore coaches who are out on the floor, at the table or telling them how to do their job.

That's why I frequent this board, I learned something today.
