Technical foul on substitute—mechanics
Let's say a Team A substitute is sitting on the bench wearing his warmup over his jersey. He says something to me that crosses the line and I call a technical foul. Obviously I have to get his number because it counts as one of his five. What is the best way to go about obtaining his number? Ask him to pull up his warmup shirt or tell the coach to ask him?
Also, what is the best way to report this to the table? Let's say his number is 12. "White, 12, technical foul. That counts as one of his five. That is also charged to the coach. Coach, by rule you must sit for the rest of the game."? Thanks! |

Table might not need this reminder (esp. if kid is still wearing his warmups -- it's unlikely he will play enough to get 5 fouls) |

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 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.
|
|

In that case let me clarify. I always report the direct T, but never mention the indirect. I simply inform the coach of his indirect and loss of the box.

Come, Mister Tally Man, Tally Me Banana ...
We've got some good scorekeepers here. They're good, but not that good. In most cases, if we didn't report the indirect, it wouldn't get recorded.

Think about this--do indirect Ts really need to be recorded? If the direct Ts are recorded, there is a record of when an indirect occurred, right?

Shorthand ...

Does a running score really need to be recorded? If the player points are recorded, isn't that enough to figure out who wins the game? Just add them up. Plus, "the scorer shall record ... notify an official immediately when ... the third technical foul is charged to the head coach." If the scorer is supposed to notify the officials when a third technical foul (direct and indirect) is charged to the head coach, shouldn't he have that information recorded for easy reference?
