Ejected Maccabi coach delays Knicks game (AP)

Maccabi Tel Aviv's head coach Pini Gershon, center, leaves the floor after being called for his second technical foul during a preseason charity basketball game against the New York Knicks Sunday, Oct. 18, 2009 in New York.

NBA or Europe, regular referees or replacements, the rules are the same: Two technical fouls is an automatic ejection, and anyone ejected must leave the floor. Maccabi Tel Aviv wanted a pass on that rule Sunday. The New York Knicks' 106-91 victory over the Euroleague team featured a bizarre delay in the third quarter when the visiting coach refused to leave after he was ejected.
