Speaking of timeouts....

RULING: Team A is granted the time-out and is charged
with a technical foul. No indirect foul is charged to the head coach.

The only question I have is why is an excessive time-out called yet according to the case book play no indirect is called against the coach, or is this a direct against the coach?

Why do you think this should be on the coach?

If the fact of no more time-outs has been communicated to the coach, shouldn't the coach have communicated that fact to the players?

Wouldn't this be a Delay-of-Game situation?

Would the T be called against whoever called the time-out?

I believe you have a rule book with you. Look through rule 10 and find which section contains the part about excessive timeouts.

Another thought, towards the back of the rule book is a page that charts the various technical fouls and their penalties. Find that chart after you find the rule.
