I think this is a crazy rule. It's just all apart of pumping the team up and trying to sike the other team. it's all apart of pre-gane fun and what's the big deal?? what will be the punishment if a team does this, you can't give them a penalty like in football? Will you start the the game with a technical foul shot or jump ball on their end of the court/

CRAZY, DON'T TAKE THE FUN OUT OF THE GAME!!

What I have been told is if the violation occurs, the game will start with technical foul shots and the coach will be confined to his seat. A second bench technical will result in the head coach being ejected from the ball game.
This hurts a coach when he cannot stand during the game and try to direct his players.
