Recently people have found out that a a ref now has full rights to give out technicals, if he feels like a player is not happy with what ever happened on the court. So lets say a player tries to show his anger by going at the ref, bam he gets a technical. How about if he turns around and waves at air in frustration, bam he just gets a technical. Any sign of the person trying to go against the call results in him having a technical, I guess this might make the game harder for the players. They have to be more balanced now in order to not get a technical.
Another recent news is that the NBA is increasing the amount of money you pay for a technical. So the way it will go this year is that first five technicals of a player or a coach will result in a $2000 pay. If a player or coach goes beyond the five technical calls he will pay $3000 for the next five. If that continues the pay would rise to $4000 for the next five technical calls. When a player or coach reaches 16 technical calls, they will have to pay $5000 and get suspended for one game. After that if he gets two more technicals he will once again be suspended and pay $5000. All the money that is collected from the technical fouls goes to the NBA charity. I guess it is a good cause, yet I think the price for a technical is just to high.
All of this has been done in order to make the refs have more control over the game.
Have the rules regarding technicals changed? What are the stats? how many more have been given out in the last season?
