All 10 technical fouls Rasheed Wallace has accrued this season will stand. The league reviewed the last two techs and upheld them both.
The players need to understand that there is a new regime in charge of the officials and it is going to back its guys hard at every turn. One of the complaints about Ronnie Nunn and the former regime was that it was too quick to side with teams and too quick to throw officials under the bus. It's not going to be like that anymore. There aren't going to be too many techs rescinded this season.
So, Sheed is at 10. He will get a one-game suspension for every other tech after No. 15.
