I don't think he'll cave on the tech situation, which will resolve itself in the end. With less player histrionics, the need to give out more techs will disappear.Last edited by Shepseskaf; 12-11-2006 at 11:46 PM.

the league is getting rid of the new ball
"After more than two months of complaining by some of its biggest superstars and scores of other players, the NBA is giving the boot to its new microfiber composite basketball and bringing back the old leather ball that had been in use for 36 years."

There was a time when many high schools switched to this ball:
I've used it and the grip is so much better.
