Point Value / Technical Foul questions

[grussell]

I don't believe the second situation is an "ego" situation; it is a rule, and although common sense is a nice thing to use in many situations, it is not of much use here. There is a rule applicable here, and as such, my question remains of how to apply it. I think that although keeping one's ego out of it is admirable, you penalize the other team if you don't enforce the rules correctly.
