<P> In a 2007 game against the Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio's Tim Duncan was charged a technical foul by referee Joe Crawford for laughing at him while sitting on the bench ("gesturing in such a manner as to indicate resentment," as indicated above). As he had already picked up a technical foul on the previous play, also while sitting on the bench, this led to his ejection . Upon further review it was determined that this technical foul was inconsistent with the league's game management, and NBA commissioner David Stern suspended Crawford for the rest of the season . Duncan was fined $25,000 for the incident . </P> <P> The most technical fouls ever charged to a team in a single professional game is 6 (all in the second half), to Aris Thessaloniki in a game against Olympiacos of the Greek A1 League on February 10, 2008 . </P> <P> Rasheed Wallace holds the record for the most technical fouls received during one season in the NBA . In the 2000--01 season, he received 41 technical fouls in 80 regular season and postseason games played . Wallace also holds the all - time mark for most technical fouls by a player in a career with 317, a record previously held by Dennis Rodman . </P> <P> There have been a few instances in the NBA when a team's entire bench has either been injured or fouled out, and one of the five remaining eligible players fouls out, resulting in the technical foul that effectively acts as a bonus free throw situation . The Atlanta Hawks' Cliff Levingston (fouled out, but one of the five remaining players was ejected) and the Los Angeles Lakers' Robert Sacre (fouled out) have both taken advantage of the disqualified player rule . Under NBA Rule 3 - I-a (player fouls out) and 3 - I-b (player injured or ejected), the player was assessed with a technical foul for remaining in the game or returning to the game after fouling out . </P>
