The Regime Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Dwight Howard will likely serve another one-game suspension because he picked up an eighteenth technical foul in Wednesday night's game at Charlotte. Howard has always been deliberate at the line, and referee Bennett Salvatore called a violation for taking too long to attempt his second shot late in the second quarter. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/212892/Howards_Eighteenth_Technical_Earns_Him_Second_Suspension Edited April 7, 2011 by Confidence248 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Make It Naaaashty Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 How do you get a violation for taking to long to attempt a free throw? He's the only one I've ever seen do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballorama Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I feel as if the Refs pick on him, he's prob the only guy they actually time for free throws. Sucks, but at least it's at the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 That is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
?QuestionMark? Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I've only seen it called once before to another player, either Shaq or Robert Horry. It's a weak way to get your 18th Tech. Didn't even get his money's worth. No tirade against the ref, no elbow to someone's head. But it's the right call. Though, they are picking on him it seems. I know other players who took 10+ seconds. Karl Malone was one of them. I'm sure there's others now. BTW...it seemed like they were going by Gerald Henderson's counting, which to me seemed pretty quick. WTF Salvatore?
