That policy should have absolutely NO affect on how a game is called by the officials.

I don't know, but I've been told....that a few years ago the HC and an official were having a difference of opinion and the coach got rung up. He must have been having a bad day b/c apparently the AC and AD were right there at the bench trying to calm him down (successfully) Apparently, it was ''touch and go" for a bit. I DO know that this official did NOT know about the ejection policy.
I have never had an issue in his games although I did have to hurdle him once as he was squatting in front of his bench and I was running up the sidelines (OOB)!! Maybe that put the fear of God in him!!

Does the policy only include direct T's to the head coach and not indirect T's? What happens if the coach gets an unsporting T and later on, we have to charge another T to the coach for an illegal uniform? I don't think that's what the policy was intended for.

I would imagine they have some type of appeal process but I don't know the ins and outs of that districts policies for appeal/arbitration. My first response would be Yes with the school citing the fact that had the coach not gotten the direct T then nothing else matters.

I could see how this could go bad without an appeals process of sorts.

Coach lists all his starters as required, but has to change due to an injury. Official mistakenly a) gives technical foul and b) charges it to the coach.

Later, at half-time, A1 is shooting layups when the official thinks he got to close and charges him a technical foul for dunking.

Midway through the third quarter, a technical foul is called on A1 (on the court) for dead ball contact. During the FTs, the assistant coach directs all the players to stand immediately behind the 3 pt line. The official charges the assistant coach with a T for directing the players to break a rule.

I know, it's far fetched....

Yeah, especially this part. Simply ludicrous. It would be MORE believeable if it was in the 4th quarter...but even THEN cant see an AC EVER doing something like this

I would guess the firing due to being ejected from a game would be more along the lines of his personal conduct (outbursts, etc) than an indirect T followed by a direct T (or vice versa). Either way I would think the possibility of being ejecte dand thus fired would cause most coaches to stay calm - at least while on the sidelines of a game

I've got a pretty wild imagination.

Update to OP: The offending coach/player may have his fine reduced to $100 by taking a sportsmanship "course" online. Interesting note is the rule is working. But while coaches/players are better behaved, officials are now less likely to give that second T even if warranted.
