What Counts?

One way I like to think about indirects is that they're not called against the coach at all.

An indirect occurs and is charged to the coach when a technical foul called against someone else other than a player (the 5 legally in the game) or a substitute. We never "call" the indirect itself. It is only the way the foul penalty is administered.

While a nice way for you to think about it, the phrasing isn't precisely true.

There are substitute technicals, administrative technicals, and even the crowd could cause a team technical. None of these get charged indirectly to the head coach.

OK, I've added "or substitute" but the rest are accurately covered. They are not charge to "someone" at all...just the team.
