I do not agree with that but there needs to be some punishment that maybe doesn't affect the rest of the team. If there was no punishment then some players would keep getting them. I help coach a HS team one year and the HC put the player that got the "T" in a chair at half court while the rest of the team ran. That did not work.A local school has a policy where if a player gets a technical foul he has to sit out four quarters. Is that common?

So basically what you are saying in this post is that your kid, or a kid you are somehow attached to, got a technicks and had to sit 4 quarters, and you don’t like it.How many quarters is the coach out if he gets a technical?
It woud seem to me that an adult should be able to exert more control over their emotions and behavior than a kid.
That's not good for them.. under the scenario above he would miss a couple of games... I am assuming that will only miss the one required by MSHSAA.Webb City's best player received 2 technicals last night and was elected. Next game is 1st round of districts.
That’s a different situation. Ejection is automatic game suspensionWebb City's best player received 2 technicals last night and was elected. Next game is 1st round of districts.
It may be more in this situation though. The player in question did not leave the playing area in a timely manner and had to be prompted to exit the bench after all 4 free throws were shot. He then removed his jersey before returning to the locker room. Carthage had a similar situation a few years ago where a Junior player was sent off during a Sectional Championship loss in a soccer game and also refused to leave the field in a timely manner while having some choice words as well. That player missed about 3-5 games to start his senior season, but I'm not sure if this decision was from MSHSAA or if it was self-regulated by the school.That’s a different situation.

Late to the party here but a player that receives two technicals is disqualified. They are not ejected and may stay on the bench as long as they are not causing more problems.I believe the player was in the locker room before played resume. The officials should have made him exit before the free throws were attempted if that is the rule. I would think any games additional to the one mandatory would be based on school policy. It’s district play so assuming they can win one game I bet he plays the next one.
Actually I don’t have kids, and don’t know any kids.So basically what you are saying in this post is that your kid, or a kid you are somehow attached to, got a technicks and had to sit 4 quarters, and you don’t like it.
Wow, took two weeks to come up with that reply?Actually I don’t have kids, and don’t know any kids.
You took a point that had merit — about how many coaches who preach discipline for their players practice none themselves — and made inferences and assumptions about someone you don’t know.
Perhaps, I struck a nerve.
Either way, if you’d rather make inferences and assumptions instead of an adult debate, then by all means. …
It sounds like you view getting Technicals a lot like how you view drinking and driving and sending nudes — okay if an adult does it. Bad if a minor does it.
