The NBA has improved their image by implementing a dress code, warning players about off the court activities and lastly, putting in a new “technical”rule. The rule prohibits players from adamantly questioning calls. This was put in to eliminate the whining, towel throwing or just general crying.
The season has started with almost three times as many technicals fouls and 5 more ejections. Does this mean the rule is bad, or does this mean the NBA players are spoiled babies who always get their way? I believe David Stern made a good decision and in the long run with make the game about the game and not about the players. Marc Stein of ESPN.com doesn’t agree, but we all know who’s right.
