I know what you meant. That doesn't mean I can't point out how many idiots have been ejected more than twice this year.

And even the stat you brought up doesn't tell how they were ejected. I know at least two of those ejections were from flagrant fouls during the course of play....which wasn't the type of ejection I believe was being mentioned.

I wasn't concerned with how they were ejected. I simply said multiple ejections are not uncommon and then pointed to a few examples.

So...2 or 3 times out of all games played during a season makes it uncommon? LOL.

If you can't comprehend what's being written, then have someone smarter that you, like an 8 y/o read it and explain it.

I didn't say it was uncommon. I said it "it's not uncommon."

I also said these are just a few of the games I recall with 3 or more ejections. I didn't research it but I'm sure there are more. Feel free to have that 8 y/o help you research it.

Without going back and running the numbers, would it be correct to say there are more T's (multiple or otherwise) and ejections at the NBE level than the College or HS level? Thoughts?

That was the point I was trying to make, right or wrong.

You were correct and on point.

I have an NBA rules question maybe someone could answer regarding the Heat-Wizards game.

During play, Z. Ilgausskas (sp?) and John Hall get tangled up. Javel Mcghee (sp?) tries to join in and Juwan Howard comes in and shoves Mcghee. There is some further shoving and words. The refs look at the monitor and assess all four players a technical and three of the four are ejected from the game. When play resumes, each team shoots two free throws and the Heat get the ball back. How do four technicals and three ejections result in each team getting two free throws?

I didn't see the play and don't know NBA rules, but here's a guess: 1 live-ball flagrant personal foul, 2 offsetting flagrant technical fouls, and 1 other technical. Shoot the free throws for the flagrant personal and other technical.

After the replay, they assessed a flagrant foul penalty two to Ilgausskas for deliberately swinging his elbow and making unnecessary and excessive contact and John Wall for his swing and hit with his forearm/elbow. Those two were ejected. Juwan Howard was issued a technical foul and was ejected because he was an escalator during the altercation. McGhee was also issued a technical foul but wasn't ejected. The two technical fouls become double technical fouls and cancel out. Shoot the free throws for Ilgausskas' flagrant foul since it occurred first, shoot the shots for Wall's flagrant foul. Since his occurred last, Heat have the ball at the free throw line extended in their frontcourt with a fresh 24 second shot clock.

To conclude:
2 FF'2= 4 FTS
2 T= Double T's so no FTs awarded

According to the stats at ESPN.com, there have been 63 total ejections this year, out of about 1140 total games played. On average there is one ejection for every 18 games played.
