Frustrated Loyola coach Patsos takes a seat in the stands

[dbking]

Class A technicals are for players that committ a technical foul for cursing, contact during dead ball or any flagrant. 9 different reasons.

Class A technicals are for bench inappropriate behavior. If it is on an assitant, then the coach is charged with the A. The call was correct. However, the coach only gets a Class B charged directly to him if the foul was on bench personel other than him. THis tallies towards ejection.

Class B technical for players are for using tobacco, face guarding, dunking in pregame etc. 15 different reasons...

Class B technical for coaches are coaching box violation, bench area, using tobacco, wrong numbers etc. Why was he not charged for leaving the bench is anyones guess. My guess is the offiicial never saw it. They can't say a word sounds more like a NFHS enforcement to me. College coaches do not loose the get up and coach privilege like in HS.

THe big differences between A and B:

A counts toward team totals and player totals, B does not. They all count towards disqualification, 2a's or 1a and 2b's or 3b's.
