Summary: Know about technical fouls. To be a great basketball player the first thing you need to learn are the rules on how the game is played. This free video clip will explain what technical fouls are and the penalty for those calls.
"OK, next, I would like to discuss technical fouls. What technical fouls are, they generally consist of, over-aggression and mouthing-off to the 'Refs' (Referees) or the opposing team. Also, hard fouls, like fouling too hard, where you are trying to, or it looks like you are trying to hurt the other player and if you knock the player down to the ground. This would usually result in a technical foul. Technical fouls are not good for you or the team. If you get two fouls, you'll generally out of the game, specifically, with two technical fouls, you're generally put out of the game. That's no good for you or the team. So, try to keep technical fouls out of your repertoire. Like I said before, they usually consist of, generally, over-aggression, mouthing-off, being too feisty, hard fouls or trying to hurt people. These actions usually result in technical fouls."
