I'd like to know something-- don't you think that the rule is kind of stupid that, in college hoops, technical fouls count as personal fouls? For example, let's say you're up by one late in a game that you desperately need to win. You have three fouls, and you are set, having position on the floor, when the opponent charges into you and knocks you to the floor. The official, however, charges you for blocking, your fourth foul. You complain about it (because, perhaps, you may think that it was an unjust call), and, according to the rules of college hoops, the T for that complaining becomes your fifth personal foul, and you are disqualified. Why is it, therefore, in college hoops, that a technical foul for complaining is treated the same as holding, hitting, pushing, hacking, charging, or blocking? After all, if you're complaining to a ref about an unjust call, how does that involve contact with someone, especially if that unjust call impacts the outcome of the game?
