The NCAA announced a crackdown on bench decorum for the upcoming basketball season Thursday, saying many common behaviors that are deemed unsportsmanlike by officials will be met with technical fouls without warning. Also targeted: Coaches who leave the coaching box, even simply to talk to their players. Coaches will be given one warning, then assessed a technical even if their behavior is not unsportsmanlike. Among behaviors the NCAA said will earn a quick 'T' are: Addressing an official disrespectfully, trying to influence an official's decision, using profanity or abusive language, and "objecting to an official's decision by rising from the bench or excessively using gestures that either demonstrate officiating signals or displeasure with officiating."

Wow, as if college basketball officiating needed to get any worse. Now they are going to punish "unsportsmanlike" behavior?
