Is it true that if a technical foul is administered to start an extra period, a jump ball will follow?

A technical foul administered to start an extra period does not result in a jump ball. Instead, the team that was not charged with the technical foul will typically have possession of the ball to begin the extra period. This rule emphasizes that the nature of the foul (technical) does not warrant a jump ball; rather, it affects possession based on which team incurred the foul. The possession arrow, established during the previous regulation period, or the result of the technical foul's handling will dictate which team starts the extra period with the ball. This understanding is crucial for effective game management and ensuring adherence to the rules of basketball.
