This would be the easiest ejection ever - under any set of playing rules.
BTW, maybe someone should send this excerpt of the NBA rules to those ESPN announcers:
12.A.V.
d. A technical foul shall be assessed for unsportsmanlike tactics such as:
(1) Disrespectfully addressing an official
(2) Physically contacting an official
k. A technical foul, unsportsmanlike act or flagrant foul must be called for a par-ticipant to be ejected. A player, coach or trainer may be ejected for:
(2) Any unsportsmanlike conduct where a technical foul is assessed
And, from the comments on the rules:
Any player or coach guilty of intentional physical contact with an official shall automatically be suspended without pay for one game. A fine and/or longer period of suspension will result if circumstances so dictate.
