Timeout/Layup = technical foul

I have no problems whatsoever with issuing a technical foul for the layup.

However, for me, the first time is a reminder of the rule.

That's the guy that I'd be.

You have no rules justification to issue a technical foul. It's that simple.

Doing something like that cannot be explained away if somebody complains either.

Absolutely ridiculous advice.

Again, you did not read what I wrote.

Here it is again:

"However, for me, the first time is a reminder of the rule."

A reminder is a warning. That means that my call is no direct call to a Technical foul. For you to read into what I said that I would issue a T without a warning is inappropriate. Please don't put words into my mouth.
