Derrick White is not the only member of the Boston Celtics backcourt rotation who has made a career of not getting (many) technical fouls. White, who was famously clowned by star teammate Jayson Tatum for his lack of techs, recently had vet floor general Mike Conley on his "White Noise" podcast, and the duo traded tales of their dalliances with getting a technical foul.
And while White has since logged a few that have stayed on his record, Conley told how his experience with the call did not go quite the same. "I've actually technically have gotten a tech, but was rescinded immediately," said Conley. "But it was one of those (things where) the game gets out of hand. Both teams are getting the ref's ear, and the refs are just tired of everybody."
"And the next person to say something, it just happened to be me, was the guy that gets teed up," added the Celtics floor general.
"So it was like something happened, and we got a foul call, and I clap my hands together," said Conley. "(I) almost got it, and walked away, and I heard the whistle. And they said, 'Tech on eleven. I was like, 'I know he ain't talking about me, 'cause like I didn't even do nothing.'"
"It was. I think it was Monty McCutchen. I think he'll remember. I'll remember him forever. And he comes up to me any times he sees me. He's like, 'Man – once again, I'm sorry about that. I didn't mean to. I was just frustrated, and took it out on you'. But it got rescinded."
