You can get a "technical" foul for alot of reasons I suppose, but it usually involves arguing a referees call, such as a normal foul is called on a player, he gets in the refs face and argues the call excessively, he gets a "T", or technical foul, in which case an extra foul shot is awarded, usually to be shot by the best foul shooter on the floor at the time. If another player, either on the floor or a player or coach on the bench argues the same way, they can also get T'd up. If you get two technicals you are gone, you not only leave the game but have to go to the locker room. Sometimes a coach will really go off and get a double technical, this is usually done to get your team fired up when they are losing, seldom do you see a "T" when the team is ahead.....probably more than any of you really wanted to know about this subject, but you asked ......tom
