I had always remembered 2 technical fouls meaning you get ejected from the game. What's the rule now? I'm sure this flagrant 1/flagrant 2/dead-ball technical foul nonsense has made it a little less straight-forward.
My hunch is that one or both of the technical fouls by rule counts as a personal, so what [technically] happened to the kid was he fouled out with 5 fouls.

From what I can find in the rule book (I don't have this years downloaded yet, but I have last years plus a list of new rule changes for this year), Flagrant 1 fouls do not count towards ejection. A player is only ejected for either a Flagrant 2, 2 class A technicals or any combination of 3 class A or Class B technicals (class b is stuff like hanging on the rim).
I was also wondering why he got to stay on the bench. His coaches couldn't get him to sit down and I was hoping the refs would ask him to head to the locker room.
Wouldn't cha love to get that guy in Cameron? The Crazies would have a field day.
