Technical Foul Question

[tgodsey]

Here is an expansion of the details.

The offensive player had a sleeveless T-shirt with a piece of tape as the number 1 (player forgot jersey and had to improvise). On a fast break, a defensive player grabbed to foul and pulled on the tape. The referee picked up the tape, walked to the scorer's table and called a technical for delay of game.

At the beginning of the game, the same referee called a technical on the same player for a non-matching jersey.

The referee considered this 2 technicals and threw the player out of the game. As the team captain, I found this to be a bit strange. I didn't think of either technical as an "ejectable" technical and wanted an expert opinion in case I'm wrong.

Thanks again for any help.
