A1. All fouls committed during an interval of play are technical fouls. But, you should use discretion. You can always apply a technical foul and eject a player if you deem the contact  excessive. I know that you cite starting a game with a jump ball after an unsporting or disqualifying foul but there is nothing in the rule book that states these can be called during intervals of play.  You have to use your judgement.


Q2. Can we call a unsportsmanlike foul if the foul committed during interval of play is deemed rough? 

A2. 38-12  All fouls committed during an interval of play are technical fouls.  However, if you deem the situation excessive and intentional, you can always throw the player out of the game, but it is still a technical foul.
