How do I handle faking being fouled (flopping) and delay of game?

Both use a team warning first, then a technical foul.

Faking being fouled (Rules 4-49, 10-4-6f)

• First offense by a team: a team warning, which the scorer records in the book.
• Any later fake by that team: a team technical foul (not a player technical).
• Faking being fouled was an NFHS point of emphasis again in 2025-26.

Delay of game

• A team gets one warning for any of the four delay-of-game situations in the rules. After that warning, a delay by that team in any of the four is a technical foul.
• Since 2024-25, failing to pass the ball immediately to the nearest official after a whistle (Rule 4-47-5) is also a warning for the first violation, and a team technical foul for later violations.

The scorer records each warning, so check with the table if you're unsure whether a team has already been warned.
