Following an increase in poor participant behaviour and referee abuse related incidents, the SBA has reintroduced a technical foul suspension system similar to one used by Basketball Victoria in VJBL.
Any player that receives two behavioral technical fouls in one SBA domestic season will be suspended from all SBA competitions for two weeks from the date of notification. Any additional behavioral technical fouls received in the same season will result in an additional two-week suspension.
For teams represented by a club, the club will receive an email notifying them that a participant from their club has received a technical foul. This will act as their only warning and will outline the penalty if they receive another technical foul.
For entity teams, the team contact will receive an email notifying them that a participant from their team has received a technical foul. This will act as their only warning and will outline the penalty if they receive another technical foul.
If a participant receives a second technical foul, they will receive an email with notification of suspension.
This will commence for the Spring 2026 domestic season.
