All I see whan I read that article is our boy complaining and getting t'd up by some 1st year ref at a crucial spot of the game as 24 demonstrates to him how he was fouled completing his eye to eye with his pattented death stare.

I don't mind giving out techs when players approach refs or get too verbal, but fist pumps and hand gestures? Sorry, but that's just stupid. These guys aren't a bunch of robots running around on the floor. You have to allow these guys to show some level of emotion. It's a part of the damn game man.

My fiancee manages a tour guide agency in Thailand, so I manage the website and help her promote it.

Exactly. You can't control emotions like that. They are all natural. Stern is going way overboard with this crap.

Fix the problem by instituting consistency in the calls, don't put a band-aid on it by removing complaining.... Let's face it, a lot of times there's a reason to complain...

More T's just slow down the game more and make it even less watchable... More so than it already is.

Mind as well change it to National Robot Association. WTF is this ****.....I'm really starting to miss the 90's style NBA basketball. This is getting out of hand. Other national sports can allow players to be emotional but the NBA can't?

Back to the Future part V:
So when Michael Jordan hit the winner over Ehlo and turns to fist pump emphatically 5 times, the Ref "T's" him up for demonstrative gesturing... Mark Price steps up to the line and makes the free-throw sending the game into OT. The Cavs win in OT changing the course of history as Jordan and the Bulls never get out of the 1st round, continually stifled by Cleveland, Detroit, Boston etc.

When I read this I pictured the Celtics. But it'll be the same as the standing on the bench rule and go ignored. If they really enforced this, every coach would get thrown out (Doc and D'Antoni wouldn't last 6 minutes).
