Sheed Gets Tech Rescinded

Via A. Sherrod Blakely of Comcast:

After the NBA decided to impose no additional fines or suspension
following his outburst ( and ejection) from Friday's loss to
Philadelphia, CSNNE.com has learned that one of Wallace's technical
fouls has been rescinded.

The one in question came on Nov. 29 at Miami.

Near
the end of the first quarter, Wallace made a shot in which he felt he
was fouled. After the made basket, he yelled, 'And one!'

That's when official Bennett Salvatore called a technical foul against Wallace.

 "For
saying, 'And one?' Come on. They're making themselves look foolish with
this (stuff)," Wallace said after the game. "It's crazy, man."

However,
Wallace acknowledged at the time that Salvatore told him that he would
talk to the league to try and have the technical foul rescinded.

Wallace now has nine technical fouls, which is still tops in the NBA this season.

For the curious, Carmelo Anthony and Kendrick Perkins are next in line with 7 technical fouls. Kobe Bryant and Dwight Howard each have 6, good for third place.
