what I find even MORE interesting than the "new" technical foul rules...is that the NBA surveyed members of its' "NBA Fan Forum" to get their opinions of technical fouls...

As a member, I received a web-based survey that included video clips of plays from last season followed by multiple-choice questions. They wanted to know what fans thought of how much players should be able to display their displeasure at a call (physical reaction vs verbal comments) and how much latitude to allow players when talking to officials after calls (discreet conversations vs "walking all the way across the floor to talk with an official").

It was pretty interesting to see that the NBA would survey fans about technicals and then adjust technical foul enforcement based, at least in part, on fan opinion.

The players run the league. The players shall prevail.

And that's one of the reasons the NBE is unwatchable.
