T on the home team for a mom coming onto the court to check on her injured child?

Thanks, now I understand why it is a tie. Holy crap. The only thing that could be added as icing on the cake is if you said the calls were by the same official.

I think mine still falls short, I haven't actually heard of it being called; just suggested.

I agree. I was Coach A, and ended up with a "T" before all was said and done. I initially couldn't get any explanation other than "your player was going to throw it away anyway."
After the T, the ref who made the call did give me the better explanation, but I was still not pleased. He let me say my piece on A/D, and did say he knew where I was coming from, but didn't want to punish the other coach for making an "innocent" mistake. I pointed out that an innocent mistake is one foot on the court, not out 10' on the court.

There is no better explanation for that one.

Advantage/disadvantage has got nothing to do with interfering with play. You just don't do it, deliberately or accidentally.

Unfortunately, some officials can always find an excuse not to call a warranted and deserved technical foul, no matter what.

I should have said "more in depth" explanation.

I'd bet my next game fee that the overly generous A/D official in the OP is, at this very moment, telling tonight's partner how he has never needed to call a T in his entire 21 years of officiating.

A2 releases a three-point try just prior to the horn sounding. Substitute B7 leaves the bench area, enters the court and blocks the shot. RULING: B7 shall be charged with two technical fouls and ejected. One technical foul is assessed for entering the court without permission and one for unsporting conduct. Any member of Team A may shoot the four free throws for the technical fouls. The results of these free throws will determine if the game is over or going into overtime. COMMENT: Two technical fouls must be assessed in this situation. Otherwise, the team committing the infraction would benefit from the act. (10-4-1; 10-4-2)

Please, for the love of all that's holy, put this interp away! Every time it appears in public it sets off another wave of posters arguing to impose multiple penalties for single infractions.

This Situation fits a little better:
10.2.1 SITUATION B: Team A substitute No. 24: (a) reports to the scorer, but enters the court without being beckoned; or (b) goes directly from the bench and onto the court without being beckoned. RULING: One technical foul is charged to No. 24 in (a) and (b). In (b), even though No. 24 failed to comply with both requirements, only one foul is charged.

Nah, it doesn't mention anything about the kid touching the ball or interfering with play. The OP has the coach not only on the inbounds area of the floor, but also catching a pass made by the opposing team.

Call?

The interps has both elements, "enters the court and blocks the shot."

So whether or not you agree that the situation warrants two technical fouls, your citation is NOT a better fit for the OP.

[just another ref]

I had loud complaints from the visiting coach earlier this year when the home coach caught the ball while standing in the box.

1. Leaving bench - T
2. Unsporting - T
3. Sixth on the court - T
4. Not properly equipped. - T

Don't forget the T for the ugly tie he is probably wearing, too.
