Unfortnantly no team delay warning was administerd, so under the rule we could not of assesed a technical. I'll chaulk it up to brain dead officiating.......

Didn't you even bother to read case book play 10.1.5SitC(b)? Under the rules, you sureasheck CAN assess a technical foul. In this particular, there is no prerequisite of having a team delay warning in the scorebook before issuing the technical foul. Directing a team to fill the bottom slots is not an official delay warning.

If you didn't catch it before the 2 FT's though, you can't go back and call retroactive "T"s.

I did read the case book.....We did not catch it until after the second made free throw. Normally I would of asked the team to fill spots......then penalized from there

You wrote "Unfortunately no team delay warning was administerd,..."

There is no warning for delay of game. That's what Jurassic is saying.

I understand, I just believe I shoulder the responsability for not at least reminding player to fill spots.

Look, you erred by not requiring the lane spots to be filled for the first 2 FT's. Fine, your bad. Now, you caught it, so order them in, and if they fail to comply, it's a T.

No retro-active T for not having filled them earlier: the T is for failing to comply, not for failing to fill the lane spots.

But you don't "owe" anyone anything when you make a mistake. It's part of the game (but part you can work every day to minimize).
