No More Cursing from the Sideline for College Coaches...
#1
How will this affect Rick Pitino?

Cursing or venturing onto the court could draw college basketball coaches a quick technical foul this season. The NCAA is making bench decorum a point of emphasis for 2007-08 and warns coaches to expect a whistle without warning for a variety of unsportsmanlike actions. Coaches and game officials who do not strictly adhere to the rules will be penalized. Referees who are consistent in enforcing the rules will be rewarded.

The actions that can draw a technical include disrespectfully addressing an official or attempting to influence an official's decision, using abusive or profane language, taunting an opponent, inciting undesirable crowd reactions and coming onto the court without permission of an official to attend to an injured player.
