NBA Ejections: John Goble (1)

Referee John Goble ejected Knicks forward Rasheed Wallace for a second technical during the 1st period of the Suns-Knicks game. With 1:14 remaining in the 1st quarter, Wallace was called for a personal foul on Suns forward Luis Scola and a first technical foul for excessive dead ball contact on Scola. After Suns guard Goran Dragic attempted and missed the technical free throw, Wallace yelled, "Ball don't lie," and received a technical foul for unsporting conduct (overt actions indicating resentment to a call; prolongued/continued reaction [Rule 12-A-V-d-3]) in violation of the NBA's Respect for the Game guidelines, his second technical foul. At the time of the ejection, the Knicks were leading, 24-14. The Knicks ultimately won the contest, 106-99.
