What did he do?
-Offensive foul on Kobe
-Kobe walks to the ref and hands him the ball
-Ref calls technical on Kobe
The announcers said that maybe because Kobe handed the ball to the ref "too hard" or something like that. LOL Kobe should have just left the ball on the floor and made the ref get it himself, maybe the ref wouldn't have called a technical for that. haha.

Reggie Miller was broadcasting and he said the ref called a T because when Pietrus points at the jumbotron, he's making the crowd get loud. So basically when the ref called a T he meant, "Hey, don't point at the Jumbotron. I don't want the fans getting into it by booing me."
Is that a good reason to call a foul though. Don't get me wrong, i'm not complaining.. I can live with that call it's just that it seemed to have some awkward logic behind it.[/quote]
Yes that is a T in any level basketball for unsportsmanlike conduct/"showing up the official". Any action/verbage no matter severity that shows taunting, disrespect or general lack of respect for the game, players, coaches and officials is T worthy. Some officials may let it go (Having thick skin which all do have) but it shouldn't be let go.
