Perhaps it would be better to say that good game management is knowing when the technical or flagrant can be avoided; but calling it when it's necessary.

Yes Chuck, it would be. But what I am also trying to say is an official can help avoid technicals by being aware of the situation and doing whatever he can to prevent player/team behavior that demands a technical be called. For example, rough play by both teams. You've called fouls but rough play persists. Now is the time to get the captains together and warn them. If a T ensues, you've done your best to avoid it. Of course, some behavior warranting a T can come without warning. This is beyond the officials control. I hope I've exppressed my thinking a little better.
