Martin's technical rescinded?

[venom_7]

I'm not sure this warrants its own thread, so I'm putting it here. That technical foul that Kevin got against the Hawks was rescinded by the league. So, technically, he hasn't gotten one in his career yet. As far as I remember JJ missed the free throw anyway, so basically the league wasted their time. Its nice to know Kevin has a clean record, because he honestly didn't do anything on that play.

I went ahead and gave this its own thread since it was posted in the Kings-Bobcats game thread and I didn't know if anyone would see it.

I'm glad it was rescinded. I thought it was totally undeserved.

Note to VF21: Thanks! I had not seen it.

Why was it rescinded?

 

[piksi]

why is it important or who the hell cares ?

It is just a T - no big deal

 

[VF21]

I'm looking for confirmation right now...

He didn't do anything wrong so it should of been, dumb refs.

I do! I'd hate to see a good kid get his 1st technical because of dumb refs. He did not commit a tecnical foul, so why should there be one on his record?

Hmph! So there!

Well it was rescinded right?

Well good sir, technical fouls can add up. Should Martin decide to go bonkers, he would have one more technical foul before being suspended for his actions. He now has all 16 at his disposal.

Yeah, I had a hard time trying not to laugh while typing that. (FTR, I agree with you.)

I haven't found it anywhere yet. That's why we usually ask for LINKS for stuff like this.

And why does it matter? There are fines associated with technical fouls and if he did nothing wrong, he shouldn't have to pay for it.

Ron Artest has had Techs rescinded as well. I don't recall THAT being in the media about him.

Good for Kevin's T to be rescinded.

Unless a player comes right and says that they are going to appeal their technicals, it's usually buried in the notes section in the media.

 

[sacgirl88]

oh really that is good to hear that he has 0 technical fouls.

They did mention it on the rise guys the other day and on sportsline. Friday actually. I've been looking for a link too, but no dice there. Joe Johnson missed the shot anyway, but I doubt they would have rescinded it if it wasn't his first.

Oh well. It seems really trivial to me except for the fact that the T was never warranted. I wish they would just try to fix (in a good way, not the Donaghy way) the officiating so they wouldn't have to rescind technicals.

 

[Variant]

I think the player's are fined $$$ for their T's right? So, money saved...

I just can't imagine Kevin going bonkers. The refs probably can't even hear the kid
