NBA expands rules on technicals

fuckyeahlakers:

Referees have been instructed to call a technical for:

• Players making aggressive gestures, such as air punches, anywhere on the court.

• Demonstrative disagreement, such as when a player incredulously raises his hands, or smacks his own arm to demonstrate how he was fouled.

• Running directly at an official to complain about a call.

• Excessive inquiries about a call, even in a civilized tone.

This is pretty ridiculous. The amount of power being given to the refs is beyond scary, and it just shows how out of touch David Stern and his goonies are with what the fans are thinking. We already know that some refs were involved in fixing games … so now you’re going to give them more discretionary power, basically being able to call T’s for whatever reason they want? Cool.

“Air punches”? Guess Michael Jordan would’ve gotten a technical after that shot he hit against Cleveland. It seems like we’re basically moving towards an emotionless game. I for one am sick of these commissioners taking the fun out of sports. What’s worse is this is going to set a standard for guys to get T’d up for the most ridiculous of things, and still, the refs don’t have to answer to anyone about it.

Somewhere, Rasheed Wallace is laughing. Oh, and we can definitely expect Kobe to lead the league in technicals this year, lol.

WTF?!?!?!?!

This can’t be true. It’s a little ridiculous. It’s taking away players’ expression, and it’s not right.
