And I do agree with a lot of theatrics going on, and I'm not saying a like those antics. But from what I saw, he was just upset. He didn't confront the referee or anything, just as he was already out of the game, tossed his headband. I mean, late in the 4th, Cassel was arguing with the referee over one of his calls and he didn't get anything. It just seems like they are calling the wrong technicals for the wrong reason.

That isn't to say that the game hasn't gotten much more dramatic and intense as a result - which I love. But I think there is a fine line between showing spirit and being an ass on the job. I'd like to see harder basketball play, and less theatrics. If it was his fifth foul, he'd not get ejected. He'd have fouled out at 6 fouls, but still not ejected. It must have been his second-technical foul. I didn't watch the game though - but it sounds rather justified.
