The big man was also handed a technical foul in the first quarter. He got upset with a referee, expressed his displeasure, then waved the ref off to receive the tech.

On Maine’s first offensive possession after Fall received his tech, he was called for a personal foul when he took some frustration out on Captial City’s Anzejs Pasecniks as the two battled for position in the paint.

But, according to Capital City’s broadcast, Fall apologized to the refs for his actions in between the first and second quarters.
