A "technical foul" is different from a "personal foul". It dose not count as a "team foul". There is no physical contact. However it can be at times. Technicals are called when: a player stands in the "paint" (pass the free throw line under or in front of the goal) for three seconds. If your team is on offence, you commit an "offensive 3-second call", the other team gets the ball. If you're on defense you get a "defensive 3-second call" the other team gets a free throw, which is worth one point, that's how it's done in the NBA. Other technicals can be if the couch or a team player continues to argues with the referee. If that happens the other team gets a free throw for one point. If a player gets enough technicals in a game he/she will be "ejected" meaning they have to leave and cannot participate for the rest of the game, they can't even sit on the bench, the have to leave (NBA rules). If a player/coach gets seven technicals in the season/playoffs they get suspended (NBA rules). Refs. can also call technicals if a player tries to swing at another player, (that mostly will result in an immediate ejection), or if a player taunts another player.

A technical foul in Basketball occurs when the players or the coaches show misconduct during the game. When this occurs, the referee will blow his or her whistle and point at the person that has shown misconduct. Then the best free-throw shooter on the team that has not received the technical foul will shoot two free throws, followed by that team receiving possession of the ball. Hope this helps.

usually for swearing or arguing with the ref. a basketball violation in which a player uses foul language, or argues with referee, umpire, or another player. Also, severe physical contact or other misbehaviour with another player is counted as a technical foul. The consequences of a technical foul are 1. The victim (who didn't commit the technical foul) is awarded a free throw 2. The victim's team also has the control of the ball after the free throw. The player that commits 2 technical fouls during gameplay is benched.

A technical foul are most called when a basketball player starts playing rough. For example, if someone fouls a player on purpose like pulling him down using his arms. These are called "flagrant fouls" they result in free throws. Or arguing with the referee. Swing your fist at another player or even your own team mates. Both coaches and players can get technical fouls.

Today in the NBA it is very easy for a player or coach to get one. Technical fouls are given out if a player looses his cool, arguing with the ref, taunting defenders, sometimes trash-talking, etc. Almost any type of disorderly conduct a player/coach will get a technical. Depending what kind of refs are officiating the match, sometimes refs are very quick on giving them out, some aren't. In the NBA if a player/coach receives two in one game they get ejected from the game and cannot return, nor can they sit on the bench. They're escorted by security. If a player (maybe coach as well) gets around 16 total technicals in one season, they will be suspended for one game. Also calling for timeout when you are out of timeouts results in a technical as well.

In high school NFHS rules, any of the 5 players or any LEGAL substitute may shoot 2 free throws then the shooting team will have the ball at 1/2 court opposite the table. (You can allow 2 shooters, 1 forceach shot)

A technical foul is given to a player when he loses control, pushes/shoves a player, physical contact, yelling at referee, basically inappropriate behavior. Two technicals = an ejection.

What is a technical shot?

It's a free throw worth one point after someone on the other team gets a technical foul which are given out when a player or coach acts out of conduct such as yelling at the ref, talking trash, taunting, showboating, etc. In the NBA, a player shoots one technical shot for one point. In high school and NCAA (college) they get two technical shots for two points. In the NBA if both players/coaches on separate teams both get a technical foul it's a "double technical" and no free throws are shot.
