Waiting on a tech?

The more my partners and I thought about it, it should have been called right away since that reduces the risk of retaliation. Thoughts?

You do not wait to call intentional fouls. Only technical fouls you can wait because you are reacting to conduct, not contact. You should have called the foul right away or you will have other action that will continue and you might have to call other things. I do not like to say never, but never wait for an intentional foul to be called just because someone is trying to score.
