I think it seems fair. Basically the league is warning the players & coaches to get off the refs' backs.
Your thoughts on the new Technical foul rule
What are your thoughts on this years technical foul rule.
Where a player is only allowed 16 technical fouls per season and every single one above that will result to a 1 game suspension, per technical foul above the limit.
We saw the first victim of this new rule tonight in Rasheed getting his 17th of the season in which he will be suspended for 1 game.
I think Kobe has around 14, I'm not sure but he better be careful as hell, and so does Rasheed cause if he gets another one it's another game suspension and they could keep on losing without him and even loose home court because of it.

Players and coaches need to be on the refs backs though these days. The refs suck and the NBA isn't doing much about it.
There are too many instances where the refs don't want to or can't figure who was the primary instigator in player VS player situations so they just slap on the double T. Though I'm sure a player that generally keeps his behavior in check won't approach 16.
tech them, eject them from the game they are misbehaving in.
not the next one... if they do it again, eject them again.
i dont agree with the suspensions

I think it's bit unfair. I'll make a hypothetical situation.
Let's say it's towards the end of the season where teams are trying to get every win either to get in the playoffs or to gain home court advantage. And then someone like Kobe or Rasheed who are likely over the limit by then gets a bad call from the refs, and acts instinctively by complaining and gets hit with a tech, my god how Do not mask your cursing, the filters are in place for a reason devasting is that he has to miss next game!!
I don't know if this rule also applies in the Playoffs but if it does, that's even crazier. Can you even imagine missing a game in the playoffs where every game is life and death.

repped
out of curiousity does anyone know of another player thats up near the 16 mark this season?
T totals get reset to 0 during playoffs. But it follows a similar rule, where players that are over a certain limit (forgot exactly how many) will have to sit out games for every other T over the limit.osprey said:I don't know if this rule also applies in the Playoffs but if it does, that's even crazier.

First of all, if a player argues a call, that's his fault. And you have to be really drastic to get called for arguing.osprey said:I think it's bit unfair. I'll make a hypothetical situation.

And anyone who gets 16 or more technicals a year deserves to be punished.
I am talking about a Bad call here, not just any other call but a Bad call and yes players often react to Bad calls by complaining drastically that's where most techs come from. Aren't fines and giving freethrows to the other team enough? If the player is really misbehaving then eject him not suspend him for the next game which has absolutely nothing to do with the current game his playing in.Demiloy said:First of all, if a player argues a call, that's his fault.

At first I thought this rule was unfair until I looked at the stats. If you think about it 16Ts in a season is alot.
Rasheed Wallace 15
Kobe Bryant 12
Shareef Abdur-Rahim 9
Andre Miller 9
Baron Davis 9
Stephen Jackson 9
Desmond Mason 9
Allen Iverson 9
Zaza Pachulia 8
Kevin Garnett 8
(not yet updated for today's games)
Refs aren't perfect, but aren't as horrible as everyone makes them sound. They usually let players some slack before giving the T (it might not seem like it, but we only notice the times the refs DO give Ts).
Players can get suspensions for flagrant fouls, so

isn't as logical as you think.If the player is really misbehaving then eject him not suspend him for the next game which has absolutely nothing to do with the current game his playing in.
Flagrant fouls are different, they need suspensions because they can injure and ruin a player's career, which isn't fair at all so suspensions are needed. As for techs they aren't hurting anybody but the refs feelings :brokenhea so I don't see something as harsh as a suspension is needed here. I still think it's too much. Maybe every after 2 techs over the limit a suspension would be fair but not a suspension at every single one over the limit. It's too harsh.universal! said:Players can get suspensions for flagrant fouls, so

the NBA referees are by far some of the worst referees I have ever see, they are egoistic, incompetent, extremely biased, inconsistent, etc. If you public criticize the refs you get fined yet the league never public apologizes for any OBVIOUS mis-calls.
Referees are people who wear tights running along the side of a basket court thinking they are stud when they are in fact nobody---just call the game right
Some refrees also T up a player just because of his reputation---in the NBA you never need to get drastic at all to be T up, in fact you can walk away from the referee and he can still T you up.
Basketball games should never be decided by bunch of running zebras, but they are. They are the ones deserve to be punished more than the players
the rule is ok, but the refs are the ones to blame, only looking at them badly will get you a technical, even if they were clearly wrong.
Watching tapes of the NBA from about 20 or 30 years ago, the officials very rarely gave Technical fouls, compared with today.
I can recall at least one game specifically when Bill Walton got a rebound, but was whistled for a foul. He turned around and faced the ref that had made the call and started screaming his head off! He seriously let the ref have it. In today's game, Walton would have been ejected after about 5 seconds. Not the case back then. The offical just ignored it, more or less.
Times have changed, that's for sure.

I know the referees are horrible. When you're a Yao fan, you realize that very soon. But as a player, you have to control your emotions. I mean, yes, they call technicals more often, but to get called for arguing, you have to go beyond just giving the ref a look.GoDWade said:you are too idealistic to think that if a player argues a call then it's his fault

Players can speak their peace about a perceived bad call or missed call all they want. It's when they are out of hand either physically in play or in what (how) they say. Coaches should try to keep their players in composure no matter how bad they think the officiating is (even if it is bad officiating). Let the coach get the technical foul sticking up for his team.
