Well, what happened exactly?

Don't have knowledge except from the offending coach. I am assuming the first T was warranted....the question, then, is how would you manage this to avoid the second T? Coach claims he never had a chance to address his team after the first T. I have a difficult time believing that both happened so fast that the second couldn't have been avoided....But again, I wasn't there.

Coach should have addressed this in practice, not relied on the refs to somehow give him time. Stupid whiners.

Yes actually had one tonight before the game for illegal uniforms (do not get me started).

Peace

How can one have a technical for illegal uniforms BEFORE the game when the rule clearly states that is illegal for the head coach to allow a team member TO PARTICIPATE while wearing such. Hmmmm....wouldn't that mean that the ball must become live prior to this infraction occurring?

10-5-4 maybe?

You know the entire team has the same jersey that is illegal jersey and they are about to participate in that game (starters and subs). Oh and we do not work for the NF, the powers that be want a T for this before the game, which is their right to interpret the rules or make the rule more punitive if they choose. So you can save all your interpretations, semantics or even word play, no one cares what you think around here.

That's not entirely true.

Agreed. I'm betting he knew the rule. Therefore, he should have addressed it before his team ever took the floor for game 1.

I am not about to become the third man in the ring for the MMA Smackdown between Rut and Nevada, BUT:

"NFHS Casebook Play 3.4.5 SITUATION: Prior to the jump ball to start the game, the officials observe that the five Team B starters are all wearing pants which have (a) a manufacturer's logo and a school's mascot which meets the proper dimension limitations; or (b) a manufacturer's logo that exceeds the limitation of 2¼ square inches by 2¼ square inches in any one dimension. RULING: Legal uniforms in (a). In (b), illegal pants. The Team B head coach is charged directly with a technical foul. (R3-S6-A2; R10-S5-A4)" seems to support Rut's imposition of a TF.

I would assume that Rut and his partners noticed this well before the start of the game and approached the HC to see if the team would be able to rectify the problem before the start of the game so that there would be no need for a TF charged to the HC.

And I agree with Rut, I do not like having to be a fashion policeman.

P.S. I agree with Snaqs and Tony. Everybody and I mean EVERYBODY knows a player cannot dunk during the pregame warmups and I hope that refiator and his partners reminded the HC that he was now going to spend the rest of the game in the lockerroom.

P.P.S. And yes I did start a game once with two TF's (against the HC no less) but that is a story for another day, .

Many years ago, I had a game between rivals, with a D1 signee on each team, but each of them going to rival Universites. aA we approached the floor, we could hear the crowd reacting to an impromtu dunk exhibition between the two stars. So as not to have to T-up either or both of them, we sent a young man affiliated with the Home team to tell them to knock it off, before we got to the floor.
Then, when we did arrive on the floor, one of the two players involved came and thanked us. (They know that pre-game dunking is illegal, if the officials see it...)

[Welpe]

Here, varsity officials blow their whistle before they enter the court to as to stop the pre-game dunk contest before they "see" something.

Why didn't you just put some air into your whistle like our colleagues in the Lone Star State do?

Why, did the coach dunk it twice?
