================================================== ==
While the changes may not be "hard" per se, they nonetheless require the refs to do a lot more thinking now about what type of technical it is, how many shots will be required, which team had the ball at the time of the call, where was the ball located at the time of the call, if its on the baseline can the player run or is the spot designated, etc., etc. All this, compared to: 2 shots, ball OOB at the division line. The latter, you have to agree, was much simpler in implementation
================================================== ==

I agree that the implementation may be harder, however determing the type of 'T' is the easy part. What i call stupid play technicals(hanging on the ring, bookkeeping errors, excesssive TO's) are all one shot. Actions directed at an official (verbal or non) will always be two shots, doesn't matter who does the preformance, there will always be two encores.

Depending on when the 'T' is called, and why it is called the player may run the baseline. Lets not forget that the only time a player my run is after a valid goal.

Thanks
