Indirect T and coach to sit

[bob jenkins]

Unless there's more to the story, it shouldn't have been a T.

Even if it was, it was to a player, so shouldn't be indirect to coach.

Don't know what coach (or OP) meant by "2 indirect Ts".

Whatever the charlie-foxtrot, it shouldn't take 15 minutes to resume.

That's not quite right I don't think. The OP issued a DOG warning, then a T when it happened again. At least that's how I read it. In any case, the DOG T is issued to the team, not to the player right? It is not charged indirectly to the coach.

Agree. Correct, it's a team technical, 10-1-5c, not charged to player or coach (coach not required to sit).

So how many indirect T's does a coach get before sitting?

My (apparent) mistake. I was thinking it was a FT violation (I had two on the same player yesterday), not during a throw-in.

What do you think? Why?

And why would that matter?

Breaking the plane (lane or 3-point arc, depending) on a FT is a violation, whether done once, twice or a dozen times (unless you think it's that old intentional ploy to get a shooter to make a FT instead of miss).

On a throw-in, it's a warning, and then a T.

I originally had it as the former; the play was really the latter.

Only one. But indirect technicals on the coach are limited to fouls committed by bench personnel: players, coaches, managers and others that are on the team bench. That also includes players that are warming up during pre-game (the most common technical foul during warmups is dunking or grasping the rim). The head coach is responsible for the conduct of his bench, and thus he is penalized for any fouls committed by his bench.

The difference mainly between an indirect and a direct technical foul is you get three indirect technical fouls, or a combination of three indirect and direct technical fouls before it results in an ejection.
