This is the kind of stuff that makes me nuts.
Is there anything more pointless than an NBA player committing a technical foul? Refs do not reverse their calls. It can only get you in trouble, so shut the hell up. If I were a coach, I'd sit the player's ass on the bench for a month if they did this, and then we'd see if they'd dare do it again:
Utah 100
Detroit 99
Rasheed Wallace, who had 11 points, was called for a technical while Williams was shooting free throws. That allowed Okur to shoot a free throw to give the Jazz a seven-point lead with five minutes left, and the point proved to be the difference in the closely contested game.

Just like the 15 yard penalties the Chargers endured against Tom Brady on Sunday, for swinging and headbutting Patriots with reckless abandon. Look at you now, morons.
