Technical Fouls for Outbursts

Dear Official;
The rule change of players receiving a technical foulfor emotional outbursts after an official’s call seems to have a trickledown affect. While watching three NBA games, players received technicalfouls for openly showing displeasure with the official’s call. In theHeat vs. Celtics game, the assistant coaches from the Heat received atechnical foul for standing and showing displeasure.
Questions: Areyou going to administer the rule when the situation calls for it? Somescenarios could cause player ejections. School rivalries, fan influence,making the call when the game is on the line are issues that are goingto come up in your game. Are you prepared to deal with the repercussionsof the actions that you take?
