Does this technical still get addressed to him even though he has commited the alloted five fouls already?

Yes, the technical foul is still charged to A1 despite the fact that he has already committed five personal fouls which warrants disqualification.
So now he has six fouls--no big deal.

You seem to be under the mistaken notion that there is a limit to the number of fouls an individual can be assessed in an NFHS game. The truth is that there is no specific allotment.
There are simply different ways in which a person can earn a disqualification through a combination of personal and technical fouls.

If an individual "fouls out" through committing personal fouls, and then misbehaves he can certainly still be charged with technical fouls. (It would take a mistake in game administration, but he could even be charged with six personal fouls if he were mistakenly allowed to continue to participate and fouled again.)

I agree with Nevada. It is important to record this as a player technical despite being his sixth foul, especially when he has had another player technical in the game. That player should be not only disqualified but ejected, with any attendant state penalties for having been ejected (suspension and so on).

Some players and coaches seem to think that getting some combination of technical fouls permits them to be idiots toward officials. State associations mostly understand otherwise.

Keep in mind that once the coach is informed that A1 has fouled out, A1 now becomes bench personnel, and any technical fouls on A1 would also be charged indirectly to the head coach.

I once gave a player two flagrant fouls in one game.

Oh is this kind of like one of those Chuck Norris lines?

Snaqs once gave two flagrant fouls...for one single act. OK, maybe not so much.

You gave them to him? Were they wrapped?

So just to clarify, if the sixth foul is called before the coach is notified, it's just a sixth foul, with no consequences to anyone else (except the team foul count). If it occurs after notification, it's a bench technical. Correct?

Not just a "bench" technical, but an indirect on the current/acting head coach specifically.

Please keep in mind that the NFHS does not want players to be ejected from the playing area, except in situations where their behavior on the bench continues to be a problem after disqualification or in some other extreme or unusual situation. And even then, when the ejected player leaves the gym, he/she is to be accompanied by an adult associated with the team .

In our local kids rec league, when a player is ejected (extremely rare, BTW) he or she just goes and sits in the stands. We're not sending a little kid outside and hope he or she is with their mommy or daddy.

However, if we eject a coach (not so rare in my case), that dude or dudette not only has to leave the building, but they are banished to another state. OK - that's not the case but I might suggest a rule change so that it is.

Mark, I'm curious about your thought process on this. Why not just leave them on the bench like normal (NFHS) rules?
