Or the official might not know the rule. He might believe that all dead ball contact is a technical foul. I have heard exactly that explanation from officials. I have also seen officials rule dead ball contact to be a common foul.
I won't begin to list the rules mistakes I have seen or been told about (by other officials) in the last few weeks.
