I get it, I really do. It really really feels like a technical foul. A technical foul is the expected call.

My only contribution to this thread is to point out that, BY RULE, (and contrary to many of the early posts in the thread) this is a personal foul.

Not sure how it is a personal foul when no part of the contact would be considered a foul in any part of the game. No displacement, neither player prevented from normal movement, just one player landing on their shoulders after a dunk to embarrass them (what other reason does Rondo land on him for). Even if it was accidental, you separate them and move on, but this was done on purpose IMHO. It is not technically a personal foul unless there is some displacement. And until I see a ruling on these specifics then there is no way you can say this is "technically" a PC foul. Again, I do not see how this play was intended to be a personal foul of any kind when all the interpretations with such a play do not include this action.
