I don't think Richmond was screwed. The first technical was warranted as you have to call that shove. The 3 shots after the technical was warranted because the player was in the act of shooting when he was fouled. The coach then went ape shit after he realized the game was over and was ejected with 2 technicals The coach should be fired and banned from sports for being an idiot.

The Charlotte player had the dude around the head before he got shoved. Foul should've been called first on the Charlotte player. They called an intentional foul, not an act of shooting foul, which would've been a big stretch in it's own right.

Perhaps the Richmond player should realize the person who normally commits the second act is usually the one that gets caught. Fair or unfair, it's a part of basketball. If someone shoves you, you don't shove back you tell the ref on the next stoppage of play that you got shoved.
