Why isn't throw in spot after a "T" POI...?

The problem is that the definition of fairness is rather subjective. I personally see nothing unfair with a uniform enforcement like they have now. That is fair in that it is a rule that applies to both teams.

well all I can tell you was one of the coaches was really happy to see the ball get moved to half court and the other one wasn't.....I'll let you figure out which one was which.....

I'm guessing you were the one that wasn't?

nope I was the official working the game....and who answered inquiries afterwards about the reasoning behind "that part" of the rule.....

and the reason I came in here to ask the question.....because I didn't (and I still don't) have a good answer as to why we have to move the ball to half court after a technical....other than, thats just the way it is....

this situation got me to thinking how stupid it is that we automatically, no matter what, move it to half court.....thats what causes the problem...

if we just leave it where it was going to be thrown in, we don't have to answer these questions......

two shots and the ball....leave it at that

So where would you have the ball thrown in on a technical against the head coach?

What you seem to be disappointed with is that nobody so far shares your view that this is a problem.

My explanation is always "That's the rule coach."
