We've had this discussion before, Camron. I was totally on your side on this. But I seem to remember that there was an argument on the other side that fighting could also be personal, instead of technical. Since that discussion, I've always considered live-ball fighting to be a personal foul; but now I can't remember exactly why. . .

Lemme refresh your memory....
Casebook play 10.4.5SitA---live ball fight... RULING: A1 and B1 are charged with flagrant fouls and are disqualified, but no free throws result from the double PERSONAL foul

How do you reconcile the direct contradition in the definition of a fight and technical foul with the case book? They're both valid and and clear. There is no ambiguity in the rule. One is probably a misprint. Which? I can't say for sure. I don't think you can either.
