In basketball, “T up” refers to a technical foul being called on a player, coach, or team. The “T” stands for “technical,” and it is a penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct, excessive arguing with referees, or violations like delaying the game. When a player or coach gets “T’d up,” the opposing team is awarded free throws and possession of the ball.
It can also be used informally to describe a situation where a player or coach is being penalized for their behavior or actions on the court.
