Yes, technical fouls are just another call. That doesn't mean that we
approve of unsporting acts. Do I think lesser of a coach that will deliberately commit an unsporting act to try and get an advantage? Yup, I sureashell do. That doesn't affect the way that I call a game though. And I don't carry it over to the next game either. It certainly does mean though that I am not going to
ignore those unsporting acts. Ever.
Every time that we issue an unsporting technical foul to a coach, we are judging that coach's behavior. That's part of our job. It is
not part of a coach's job to judge the referees.
