?You have to consider one player has definitely a technical foul,? Javie said. ?Is this enough to call a double T and eject the one player? Personally, I would say nothing and just let it defuse as that.?
Mark Jackson then followed up with Javie to clarify whether a ref is actually taking the fact that Green already had a technical foul into consideration as he?s reviewing the play.
?Absolutely,? Javie said. ?I think that?s part of good officiating is the fact that you have to know who has the technical fouls. And in this situation, one of the players does. Is this enough to warrant an ejection, is what you have to think about.?

A tech is a tech is a tech is a tech. Consistency is all we ask about, refs. It's up to the player and coaching to not get into a situation that might warrant a 2nd tech.
