Technical fouls in NBA rules
Noob
I have a question regarding technical fouls in NBA rules.
When a player "disagrees" with a referee's decision, the
referee sometimes gives that player a technical foul.
This foul is not considered a personal foul, right? If the
player had 5 personal fouls, and was given a technical foul,
he would not be ejected from the game, right?
If a player is given a second technical foul, he is ejected
from the game, correct?
With the new(ish) rules allowing a form of zone defense, the
so-called "defensive 3-second lane violation" is sometimes
labeled a technical foul. Can a player be ejected from the
game for getting two "defensive 3-second lane violation"?
Regards.

Correct, technical fouls are not personal or team fouls.

Technical fouls are also given for hanging on the rim - those
don't count toward ejection. 2 techincal fouls for complaints,
altercations, or physical contact results in ejection. The ref
also has the option to 1-T eject a player or coach.

Defensive 3 seconds is indeed a technical foul, but it is
assigned to the team, not the player.

Thanks for clearing that up.

However, hanging on the rim is allowed when it is done to prevent
injury to the player or to others, right?

In the case of violent fouls? Or is that a separate issue?

And there is no limit to the number of such fouls?
The tenth such call still results in only one free throw?

Yes, hanging on the rim is allowed when the hanger is preventing a
possible injury. Doing a pullup on the rim will almost always result
in a technical.

Violent fouls are usually flagrant fouls (separate issue). A technical
foul for contact is usually when the contact occurs after the whistle has
been blown. I'm not sure if there are specific guidelines for 1-T
ejections (and don't feel like looking it up - though thrown elbows above
the shoulder are supposed to get you tossed, and that's in the rules),
but think it's more at the ref's decision. The cases I've seen have been
more of the refs 1-Ting a coach who said something the ref really didn't
like.
