I still find it quite odd that they used the video replay to determine whether to give him a T. That seems to open up a whole new world of regulation.

Everybody seems fixated on the wrong part of the NCAA rules. Here is the part specifically on player (and substitute player) technicals. The other part is on the bench (coaches). See B.
Section 5. (Men) CLASS A Unsporting Technical InfractionsArt. 1.A player or substitute committing an unsportsmanlike act including, butnot limited to, the following:a. Disrespectfully addressing or contacting an official or gesturing in such amanner as to indicate resentment.b. Using profanity or vulgarity; taunting, baiting or ridiculing another playeror bench personnel; or pointing a finger at or making obscene gesturestoward another player or bench personnel.c. Inciting undesirable crowd reaction.d. Contacting an opponent, while the ball is dead, in an unnecessary,unacceptable and excessive manner.e. Flagrantly (severe or extreme) contacting an opponent while the ball isdead.f. A flagrant noncontact infraction that involves extreme, sometimespersistent, vulgar, abusive conduct when the ball is dead or live.g. Participating after having been disqualified (noncontact flagrant 2technical).h. Leaving the playing court and going into the stands when a fight maybreak out or has broken out (flagrant noncontact infraction).i. Fighting as in Rule 4-26.
This seems like the more relevant rule, but it doesn't address why and how they are dialing up the implementation this year. Seems like there may be some unwritten rules that refs are supposed to enforce, like the rushing the lane violations which was a big deal at the beginning of March Madness last year, but tapered off by the end.

Guys his mom is on here... lets not be THOSE guys.
"like" wasn't the right thing for that. I want to rep the phantom 3, but I have to spread it around. Amazing find.
