Technical foul situation

[ODJ]

Kid gets pissed at his coach, tosses jersey at him, and leaves.

I doubt I'd T anything. He's not playing again for that coach. Let him walk off and get the quarter started. Why punish the team.

This guy had fouled out, he was already not eligible, so why did handing the jersey to the coach make him no longer a team member?

While it does say that, I think that it does so without considering DQ's. Someone who is DQ'd is still a team member....even though they can no longer play.

There was no foul out mentioned in the OP. Just the player and coach having words, the kid removing his jersey and handing it to the coach, then the kid walking off. To me, and I think this is what Bob was implying as well, that appears to be the kid quitting the team. In which case, I'm going to limit the overall penalty to a single T.
