Rasheed OT: He got his 16th Tech the other night and is sitting out tonight's game because of it. The league instituted rules this offseason with game suspension penalties for getting excessive Techs. Not coincidentally IMO, Wallace's outbursts have dropped off.
It was always my contention that if the league really wanted to limit the amount of outbursts from the players, they should put a more valued item then mere $$$ and a FT. My suggestion was for it to count as a personal foul as well, thereby limiting the players ability to stay on the court. This solution essecially does the same thing.
Glad to see the league proactively dealing with this situation... I don't mean just Wallace's temper, but outbursts in general.
