He finished second on the team (to Hairston) in fouls committed per 40, averaging 5.3. This was by far the highest number for a guard on the team - every other guard except Dawkins was under 3.0 (Dawkins was at 3.3). Basically, Tyler fouled almost twice as often as Austin, Seth, and Quinn. He even fouled more often than Mason, Miles, and Ryan, and big men tend to be in foul trouble more often than guards. That may not be a walking hack machine, but that's a lot of fouling for a backcourt player.
