What happens when a technical foul is charged indirectly to the head coach?

When a technical foul is charged indirectly to the head coach, it counts as one team foul only. This means that while the coach is penalized for the behavior that warranted the technical foul, the impact on the team's foul count is limited to a single foul. This rule allows officials to maintain control of the game and ensure accountability for coaching staff while not disproportionately increasing the team's total fouls, which could influence the game more severely than intended. Understanding this aspect of the rules helps clarify how technical fouls affect team strategy and foul management during a game.
