Bench Technical

[CDurham]

Saw a situation tonight where an official is standing in front of Home team's bench. He obviously heard profane language or some other act to lead him to administering a Bench Technical. My questions are:

1) This is also charged Indirectly to the Head Coach?
2) If he knew exactly who commited the act would that be a Direct Technical on the offender or still Bench?
3) Does the Bench Technical count towards the Team's Foul Total?

Thanks

10-4 "The head coach is responsible for his/her own conduct and behavior, as well as . . . all other bench personnel."

The bench offender didn't do himself or his coach any favors.

1) Yes. Coach loses his box.
2) Yes. Counts toward potential disqualification (2 T's or 5 personal fouls)
3) Yes.

Reference: Technical-Foul Penalty Summary in the back of the book.

To be fair, the summary table in the back of the book does list it as "5 Personal".

And just to be clear regarding #2, it's still an indirect on the HC as well.
