Is it any coincidence that the league's crack down on trash talk, taunting, and physical tangles seems to have risen as the % of adolescent college dropouts entering the league increased?  I don't care what the basketball talent is, a 20 year old is a 20 year old, and there just has to be some influence of playing in a college program that can't be replaced when a player jumps to big money and center-of-the-universe attention of the pros.  The modern player is, on average, more self-indulgent and impulsive.

I happen to think that 4-year college players, even when everyone played for 4 years, were certainly more disciplined and mature, and perhaps as players became less and less able to limit their aggressiveness, or at least knew when to get back to playing the game (and became, on average, bigger and stronger) the league began to exert more authority?

there are some differences obviously between the nba draft and mlb draft, but i thought i would share this tweet:

First of all, I don't think it's Stern who rescinds techs, its Stu Jackson. Second, this whole conversation is kind of pointless: if someone earns a technical, they'll get a technical, and sit out a game. That's about it. No handouts.

Thank you, That just about sums it up. NBA Finals is no place for dumb mistakes by players or Referees. Either one just makes the League look bad. No one ever wins in these situations.
