Ta-ta-ta-ta-technical foul on ma-ma-ma-ma-meeee.
NEW YORK, April 3, 2006 -- Detroit Pistons forward Rasheed Wallace has received an automatic one game suspension without pay after receiving his 16th technical of the 2005-06 season, it was announced today by Stu Jackson, NBA Senior Vice President Basketball Operations.
This season the NBA ins uted a progressive technical foul schedule that applies to players and coaches. A player or coach receives an automatic one-game suspension after receiving his 16th technical foul. Every other technical foul beyond 16 (18, 20, 22, ect.) will also result in a one-game suspension without pay.
Wallace received his most recent technical foul with 3:26 remaining in the third period of yesterday’s 109-102 win over the visiting Phoenix Suns. Wallace will serve his suspension on Tuesday when the Pistons host the New Orleans/Oklahoma City Hornets.
He didn't want to play in the all-star game, he said he'd rather be on a beach with his wife sippin' a tail...maybe he can take care of that during the suspension.
(Is he required to be on the bench in street clothes or is he not allowed to be in the arena at all during the suspension)?
Suspended players aren't allowed in the building, as I understand it.
Good test for the bench; if he was gonna get suspended, this game is a better choice than most...
