QFT, this is lame. Emotions are part of the game, whether you're professional or not.Originally Posted by dland24

Completely disagree with this point. If anything, the new Tech rules put MORE pressure on the refs. Now instead of just focusing on officiating the game at hand, which they do poorly, they have to judge how much emotion players exhibit?Originally Posted by 23ska909red02
Two reasons: it takes pressure off the refs (better allowing them to do their job more effectively), and it gives the basketball players more incentive to... I don't know... PLAY BASKETBALL. Say a guard feels he was fouled on a drive to the basket. The other team races the other way while he sits back with the baseline ref whining and flailing his arms. At this poin in time, HE'S NOT DOING WHAT HE'S PAID TO DO. His team COULD be using his defense right now, but he has made his services unavailable.

totally agree. the more you put the hands of the game in the refs, the harder its going to be to officiate. now refs have to make more discretion calls, and not ones that can be outlined concretely by the rulebook.Originally Posted by Boys Noize

Call a tech if a player gets in a refs face and doesn't let it go, call a tech if he tries to show up the ref, but let the players play and react.
Watching the Clippers/Blazers game tonight, I saw Eric Gordon get T'ed up for looking over at the ref and raising his arms slightly after getting fouled hard on a layup by two players and getting no call. He had just gotten up off the ground and was running back down court. The ref's call stopped the game and gave the Blazers a chance to score. The bigger problem in the league isn't player's complaining about calls but, rather, the quality of the officiating itself. The baseline ref was standing no more then ten feet away from the basket and missed a call that was obvious to everybody in the arena and on tv.

It will hurt the game. It takes away the emotion from the game.
basically ...
just curious but what are the fine amounts for techs, flagrants and ejections?
