magicbalala245 Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Technical fouls will become twice as expensive this season. The NBA informed teams that fines for technicals will double from last season's amounts in a memo, the contents of which were confirmed to The Associated Press on Friday. Players and coaches will now be docked $2,000 for each of their first five technical fouls. The costs rise to $3,000 for the next five, followed by $4,000 for Nos. 11-15. Starting at 16, players are suspended one game for every two technicals, along with $5,000 for each. The number of technicals could rise this season with the NBA seeking to halt complaining about calls. They will now call technicals for overt gestures, such as punching the air in anger, even if it's not directed at a referee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Bomba Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 I think giving fines for technicals is stupid and all, but what's really $2,000 more for the typical NBA player? That's just a couple dollars they won't spend at the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
