As far as a second T needing to be more egregious than the first, I completely agree with you that it should not matter at all. A T is a T, no matter what the end result. However, seeing that this is the NBA, it has always appeared to me that the threshold for behaviour that earns a T is much higher. There is also a perceived pressure from the league to keep players in the game during playoffs (hence why I believe the T(s) will be rescinded today). That's all I meant by that. |

Me: Son, clean up that room or you're not hanging out with your friends tonight. Son (flailing arms and walking away): That's bullsh!t. Me: Give me your keys, you're not going anywhere for the next week. Son (through bloody lip ): But Dad, I was only talking to myself, why are you punishing me?

You're right the rulebook doesn't mention walking away AT ALL. The rulebook does not say anything about managing the game either I'm sure you know all about; the game within the game, managing emotions, effective communication, situational refereeing (having a feel for the game) & the like. Imagine this, Rush calls the foul then goes tableside T. After Perkins antics, he speaks with Rush on the first of two FTs. Rush tells him what he had & adds, if you stomp off like that again & I'll be forced to whack you & that will be a DQ. Dont put me in that predicament. I believe it was Joey, but that was a totally different sitch.

I don't see how walking away is relevant when you're cursing out an official. I was always taught to never do that. |

On to the next I hear what BNR is saying, but this is NOT a HS game! These are grown men, if you dont hear cursing every night in the league then you need to either invest in some higher quality electronics OR your speakers arent hooked up correctly. In a student-athlete setting... yes! In a professional, post-season, entertainment setting where you possibly called a ticky-tack on the losing team just before the half in a very emotional Game 5... ummmm NO!

Would you like to know the result if one grown adult cursed out his/her grown boss? You can't use emotions to justify actions. If these are pros, they should act like pros. |

Not a good comparison. Players/Officials Neither is the others boss.

Here is what you need to do, stop listening to the media for your opinion. You did not talk to Rush or any of the other officials. You have no idea what was said or not said and why this was ultimately a T. This might have been the last straw. I know I have given Ts for things that were not just based on the immediate outburst. I have given Ts because this was a long line of things and my warnings were not adhered to. And this is this player's 7th T during playoffs, so he must know what to do to avoid getting a T. Quote:
It does not work that way. And if you knew that, then you would know that there is likely more to this call than what happen when the T was called. I have watched games in person while watching people I know officiate. Seen things called like a T, then not know what was said or the entire story until I talk to them after the game. Then the entire story or at least their story is part of the story, not what I assumed I saw or heard in incident. Quote:
Not really.

Frankly, I'm growing weary of the constant whining with virtually every call made in the games. And, I'm beginning to believe its a rare NBA player who has actually ever committed a foul. Wasn't there an NBA poe a couple of years ago whose purpose was to stop all the moaning and groaning? It needs to be resurrected. Sheesh.

Lets get away from employee/employer relationships. How about an adult gets pulled over by a cop (since we are more in that capacity). I'm sure "this is a BS ticket" will be handled in different manners based on the cop. Although some may arrest you for that, I'm sure the majority would just eat it.

Let's see...suspended for his 7th technical in the playoffs. Maybe he shouldn't have earned his other six technicals as well. Unless they were "cheap" also...

IMO, it still comes down to choice of behavior. No matter where you are, if you control your emotions, you're far better off than vice versa. If sports indeed builds character (and reveals it, too), such building won't take place if we don't call each other on it. |

Or maybe not.....
