Kerr suggests changes to NBA's playoff technical foul rule

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr isn't a fan of the NBA's rule of automatically suspending players for accumulating seven technical fouls during the postseason.

While he isn't sure what the proper solution is, Kerr offered some suggestions Saturday.

"Series by series or maybe every two series," Kerr told reporters, including ESPN's Tim MacMahon. "Just the way it is now doesn't make a ton of sense. I'd like to see it revisited, but that's coming from a guy whose team gets a lot of technical fouls and plays deep in the playoffs. So I'm a little biased."

Forwards Draymond Green and Kevin Durant currently have two technical fouls apiece in the playoffs. Durant tied Russell Westbrook (17) for the league lead in technicals during the regular season.

The Warriors have been burned by a similar rule in the past. Green was suspended for Game 5 of the 2016 NBA Finals after picking up his fourth flagrant-foul point of the playoffs during a skirmish with LeBron James in Game 4. A one-game suspension is given for accumulating four flagrant-foul points and a two-game suspension is enforced for reaching five or more.
