Dunk in pregame

In this case, yes. If he really was a varsity player, then by lying to avoid a technical foul, he's giving up the possibility of using that player, with the jumping ability to dunk, in the game.

I'm pleased that the only statement in my post that you found implausible was that I would believe that the coach wasn't lying. It's looks like you believed that the rest of my post was very plausible. Thanks. Appreciate it.

I believe the original situation was a V player dunking during the JV warmups... but that really doesn't matter. The conversation should go:

"Coach, we have a T on 33 for dunking during the warmups."

"What? 33 isn't even on my team. He's a Varsity player."

"Sounds like you have some things to deal with Coach. We will be starting the game with 2 free throws."

And you're charging the technical foul to....?

So, this same player, in pregame while warming up with his JV buddies, sees you walk on the court. He's seen you before, so responds by saying to his teammates, "We're Fu@ked, this guy hates us."

Your call?

The "bench" if I have to...

So the other Coach says: "Hey ref, why are we not starting this half with two free throws for that kid dunking.'

"Well Coach, you see, it seems that that kid is a Varsity player and since this is only the JV game I can't T him."

Really???

Really???

"He's not playing in this game, Coach. I reported it to game management, and they're taking care of it."

"How many other fouls are you going to pass over to game management tonight?"

[bainsey]

He's NOT IN THE GAME.

Again, you can invoke 2-8-1 if you'd like, and charge a team (not bench) technical foul, but I'm not going that route.
