The way the players are handed these technical foul calls is stupid! Players can’t focus on playing their hearts out if they have to worry about making a reaction about a bad call or no call, absolutely absurd. Most of the refs just sucked anyways, and now to give them this type of power? Talk about taking someone’s soul out of them. I’m glad the players union isn’t laying down for this crap. The NBA, and especially David Stern has made a huge mistake with the new technical call rules. Forget your dumb focus group, anyone who knows anything about basketball knows how unbelievably stupid this whole thing is. If you want to shape, and control the way players need to “act” then you need to catch them a lot sooner like in grade school.
