- Description
-
“Tech” refers to a technical foul in basketball, an official penalty for conduct or violations that are treated separately from ordinary play. In sports conversation, this clipped form is familiar shorthand among fans, players, and commentators who do not need to spell out “technical foul.” The word often carries a mildly tactical tone when someone considers deliberately receiving one to trigger a suspension or miss a future game. In the sample, the proposed eighth tech is being treated as a strategic way for an Indiana player to skip the next contest before the break.
- Example
-
— Coach, I got a tech for arguing with the mascot. — You argued with a foam banana for six minutes. — It knew exactly what it was doing.
The referee’s notebook became a punch card after the team discovered that every dramatic sigh could apparently earn a tech.
Well Indiana only have one game left before the break, and it's against Connecticut. Might not be a bad time to pick up the 8th tech and skip a game. #WNBA
