Unsportsmanlike, Disqualifying & Technical Fouls all appear in the Mini-Basketball rules, but their application should usually be unnecessary.
Coaches should prevent unsportsmanlike, disqualifying & technical fouls by supporting the officials in their decisions and controlling the behaviour of the players.
Coaches are allowed to substitute a player immediately if he or she demonstrates any inappropriate behaviour.
Any deliberate or repeated non-cooperation or non-compliance with the spirit and intent of the game can be considered as a technical foul with 2 points awarded and possession.
The officials can prevent technical fouls by giving warnings or even overlooking minor infractions which are obviously unintentional and have no direct effect upon the game unless there is repetition of the same infraction after the warning.
If after a warning player or coach is still unreasonable in their behaviour especially to the officials then the punishment of a technical foul with 2 points and possession awarded to the opposition can be given.
