The NBA will T players for acting out, like screaming at opponents, gesturing to the crowd and popping their collars up and down the court, and I'm not seeing a lot of the same stuff being called at lower levels. I think it would be a good thing, particularly the way the game is going, for that to be tightened up in HS and college.

We had 4 technicals last night in a 79-78 OT upset for unsportsmanlike conduct. All in the first quarter!
SMEngmann, every official must make sure they are doin their part to make sure bad sportsmanship is penalized.
