Technical Time Out

[fletch_irwin_m]

Watching the varsity game follwoing mine had two weird instances happen. I talked with the officials about this and did not really get it cleared up.
1. B1 steps over to take a charge. Doesn't get there in time and gets the block call. B1, on the floor hears the whistle looks at the C, who signals block. B1 slaps the floor and says "Shoot" and get up. C gives him the "T".
Question 1: Should he have held that? This is a tough area for me. I have been told I am too slow to "T" so on this one I would have let it go. He was not frustrated with my call just himself. He did not swear or make an idiot of himself. Just slapped the floor, loudly, and stood up.

2. Before shooting the FT's, Double Bonus for the block and two for the "T". The B coach asks for a TO. This is before ANY ft's are shot. He just wants to stare at the officials for 60 seconds or so. He was granted the TO.
Question 2: Can he be granted a TO? Is he allowed to substitute during the TO? It just seems odd that you would have the ability to call a TO before FT's in this situation.
