Tjnkle better hold his tounge this year....

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.

So if you ask an official to review a play, or point out a foul or travelling is that attempting to influence the official? And how could it possibly be a problem if the trainer runs out on the court to help a kid writhing in pain while the official isn't paying attention?

That has always been a rule with regard to the coach coming onto the floor to attend to a player unless the official beckons him/her. First of all, the trainer is already out there immediately and the coach isn't trained to provide aid. The second reason is often times the injury is a result of a hard foul. The official doesn't need coaches rushing onto the floor at a time like that, because too many things can go wrong. The opposing coaches and players may overreact thinking the Coach is coming after one of their players. It doesn't take much to lose control so that is why they have the rule in place.
