Technical foul on substitute—mechanics

[bballref3966]

I didn't mean to include the part about the coach having to sit (obviously I would let him know).

But why not let the table know to mark the T to the coach, as well? To avoid accidentally marking two team fouls?

Thanks Bob.

It's not a direct T to the coach, it's an Indirect T. Important distinction.

I understand. I guess that makes sense, though the scorebook has three spaces for technicals on the head coach so I figured we should convey that. But I appreciate the help. Just getting my feet wet.

The coach is allowed a combination of 2 Directs T's, or if at least one of his T's is an Indirect, a combination of 3 T's.

You need to read the table to decide how much information to give them. If you give them extra, it's probably better to do so "face-to-face" at the table, rather than from the reporting area.

You should be able to remember how many Ts (D or I) the coach has.

I am aware. Which is why I thought it would be the proper mechanic to tell the scorer when an indirect T needs to be marked on the coach. But I like what you all are saying and I appreciate it.

I never report indirect Ts to the scorer. I just inform the coach.

I always report them to the scorer. Sort of hard not to since what is being reported is the direct T on the person who committed the infraction and it just gets recorded against the coach.
