Uh-oh, certain teams (the Celtics cough cough) and players (Dwight Howard anyone?) better watch their backs when it comes to fouls this season as the NBA has just announced that they will double the fine for a technical foul.
This season technicals will cost players and coaches $2,000 for each of their first five, $3,000 for the next five and $4,000 for technicals eleven through fifteen. Once a player hits sixteen though they will be suspended one game for every two technicals and will also be fined $5,000 for each.
So players, think twice before throwing that elbow at your opponent or letting some nasty words slip out at the ref. The stakes have been raised.
