I thought the break the count with the hashmark had disappeared when I was officiating the first time.(1976-78) Did it re-appear?

The "Play" mechanic was pretty simple. Never called a T, but uttered the phrase a few times.

It must have. I know I dealt with the LOA and breaking the count with the hashmark when I started freshman/JV ball in '89-90.

The number of technicals needed for a player to be DQed was reduced from three to two

The article misstates this rule. It was changed for COACHES. Players were subject to 2 T's as long as I have been working (since 1988), though it was separate from personal fouls.

Correct. I should've notice that. I'm changing the original post.

Now if we can only get them to change the rule down to one technical, or better yet, just a warning!
