I love the no complaining NBA

Everything I've read so far indicates that, in theory, technicals only get directed for emotional outburts pointed at the referree. Pratice may differ.
 
Hopefully Tim Duncan's "ME?" face is considered an emotional outburst. I cant wait to see that get T'd up.
 
If it prevents me from having to see this after every whistle, I'm good with it.

Shouldn't this be an automatic ejection?

Late in the game last night a Laker player got a T for throwing up his hands after a foul called on him (I think it was the rookie (Ebanks?) on Hayward). I believe the the T plus the free throw iced the game for Utah. In the same situation can you imagine a ref calling a T on that player in the playoffs?

This happens every few years - the refs go tech crazy in the pre-season and then draw it back once the regular season begins. Hell, over the long haul the larger fine associated with a technical foul may result in less T's being called.

even after the Donaghy controversy Stern doesn't crack down on the integrity of the calls - but merely the complaining about it. Douche

So you are in favor of adjusting the rules from year to year to accommodate a ppg target?

There are two separate issues here. Mebbe you can form a second personality to assure you get the difference???

I think its a good idea, but they need to allow players to show a burst of emotion. If you throw your hands up in there air at a call, then let it go, no T should be given. If you do it continuously and on every other call, then a T should be given.

I agree. Allow a player some initial reaction. I mean sometimes he's slapping himself in the head for committing a stupid foul. Then only give a "T" if the player keeps complaining. The new rule is terrible.

They also have the b.s. final 2 minutes call change where they "let the players decide the outcome". They don't care about consistency. The calls are different from the beginning to the end of the season, from the start to the end of the game, and from "meaningless" games to "important" ones.

Mebbe you can learn to read. He's agreeing with you, even if he's not addressing every one of your points.
 
I thought it was great at first, but watching players and coaches biting their tongue after a terrible call just makes me mad. If a ref makes a terrible call, do they get fined? If the performance of individual ref's was made public (like the players and coaches performances are), wouldn't that ease the tension and suspicion between ref's and fans/players/coaches?
 
Idk about fined, but they should have a rating system, and if they dont get a certain grade, they dont have a job anymore.
