Draymond's shove should've been a flagrant/common foul, not tech according to the rules. (alien.top)

https://official.nba.com/rule-no-12-fouls-and-penalties/

An official may assess a technical foul, without prior warning, at any time. A technical foul(s) may be assessed to any player on the court or anyone seated on the bench for conduct which, in the opinion of an official, is detrimental to the game. The technical foul must be charged to an individual. A technical foul cannot be assessed for physical contact when the ball is alive.

So as the ball was live when Draymond's shove happened (https://imgur.com/a/sbkQB1K), why did they assess the T for it retroactively? Flagrant or common foul if they did not think the contact was enough for flagrant imo.

Truly a Ben Taylor special.

So I guess it's indeed impossible to have a normal discussion about rules if it involves Draymond, lol.

This is abundantly clear - I don't like Draymond (or the Warriors lol but good luck tonight) but I like rules discussions / referee accountability. The downvotes you're getting on here make it pretty clear everybody would rather just shit on Draymond / say "he deserves it no matter what!" than actually have a discussion about the rules.
