Foul is upgraded to Fragrant 2

NBA disciplinarian Stu Jackson upgraded the penalty against Davis to a flagrant foul, category 2, but elected not to suspend him.

Can someone explain how this works? I know a flagrant 2 is an automatic ejection in game. But if its issued after the game is it equavalent to a technical which would count on the total Baron has accumulated?

I don't think

technicals are classified the same as flagrant fouls.

Hmm... it's probably online somewhere if you want to Google it, I would've but I'm just too lazy.

flagrant fouls and techs are different

mark stein at espn cleared up the impact of flagrant fouls on potential suspensions today.

Flagrant Penalties And Punishment

The penalties for accumulated flagrant fouls in the playoffs:

A player will receive one point for Flagrant 1 fouls and two points for Flagrant 2 fouls. If the player's point total exceeds 3 points, he will receive an automatic suspension following the game in which his point total exceeds 3 points and for each additional flagrant foul committed during the playoffs, as follows:

Player at 2 points commits a Flagrant 2 foul: automatic one-game suspension
Player at 3 or 4 points commits a Flagrant 1 foul: automatic one-game suspension
Player at 3 or 4 points commits a Flagrant 2 foul: automatic two-game suspension
Player at 5 points or more commits a Flagrant foul (1 or 2): automatic two-game suspension

San Antonio's Robert Horry now has two points and Bruce Bowen had one entering Wednesday's game. Golden State's Jason Richardson has two.

-- Marc Stein

i forgot the exact scheme for technicals but zig i think you are right, suspensions start at 7.

confirmation

kawakami breaks down the impact of the tech/flagrant situation:

If Davis gets any other flagrant foul in the playoffs, however long the Warriors' run lasts, he'll be suspended for a game. Plus, two more technicals get him suspended, too.
