That is terrible. He was given two technical fouls from the officials. Some executive has no right to go back and review a tape and overturn the officials' decision. Next this guy will be overturning the officials on whether a shot got off in time at the end of the game.

And the reason given is even dumber. I don't know what the first technical foul was for but I assume it was an unsporting act. So switch the situation around and he hangs on the rim and then later taunts a player....is that a suspension? I don't see how the order of the acts should matter at all. And on top of all of that if the rules state that he is suspended then he should be suspended.

"In my review I determined that the second technical was not an unsportsmanlike act," Hickman said. "I thought it was somewhat inadvertent."


I do believe the officials made the right call, but it does not warrant a suspension if it's determined that it was not unsportsmanlike."
