Would this have any impact?
Idea for NF rule addition. Since coaches are responsible for the conduct of their players (in theory, anyway), what if a coach received an indirect technical whenever a player on that team was charged with a flagrant foul? I know it would have a fairly minor impact on the administration of the game, but it might make the coach take a greater interest in his or her responsibility for the behavior of their players. I'm not suggesting it happen for any technical or intentional, only flagrant technicals or personals. Just a thought.

I don't think it happens often enough to be a concen. I don't think I've call 5 flagrant fouls in 20 years.
I'd be more in favor of a technical on the coach for allowing a player to enter the game who is not properly equipped. It works in football.

A few years ago I had a JV coach at the end of the game yell to his players " foul him, FOUL HIM, FOUL HIM" and a kid ran from near foul line past the far foul line to push a kid into the first row of the stands.
I immediately called an flagrant foul and and tossed the kid. It was the coaches fault all the way, but there was no rule for the coach ( from what I knew ). I have no doubt the coach did not want the kid killed. In this case I would connect the coach if there was a rule. But I agree, it would be used rarely. |

The theory behind the indirect technical foul, as I understand it, is that head coaches are responsible for the conduct of their respective benches. I don't know if that should extend to players.
If a player commits a flagrant foul, that player is disqualified. I say that's punishment enough. I don't think it's fair to hold the coach responsible. |

They're all players, whether they're sitting on a bench or standing on the floor. Why shouldn't the coach be responsible for the conduct of them all? Besides, making this a rule would be symbolic - that's the point.

For that matter, I've never seen a coach ejected as a result of indirect technicals.

Great Question.................................

However - there are a lot of great points that have been argued. I guess my only question is how much do we want to penalize a coach because he has a couple of dumb asses on his team ?????? |

Did the game get better after you talked him down? If so, then you did the right thing. If not? Then you learned a lesson, and next time you'll give him a little shove.

while I think that's a good rule of thumb for looking back, I don't think it can be seen as the only criteria for determining whether you made the right call. Sometimes, we call the T that needs called and the game still goes into the crapper. Others, perhaps Rich's example, we can avoid the necessary T and the game still stays manageable.
