How about both?

Actually, the time shown on his post depends on your own time zone. Mine says 6:58.

In all fairness to the "other" Mark, although he does say the following: "When opponents on the court or bench personal from the opponents bench are yelling during a player's free throw attempt that is defined as disconcerting action." - he also says in a post earlier that day : "It is my opinion that disconcerting action by bench personal is a unsportsmanlike technical foul and not a violation but that is another thread alltogether.(sic)"

I guess what he means is that disconcerting action in it and of itself can be either a violation or a technical foul depending on who is doing the disconcertion - a player on the court or bench personnel.

Personally, I disagree - I think both groups should be treated the same (as I said earlier in this thread), but I don't think his posts have been inconsistent or contradictory.
