The NBA is introducing a rule which will affect players such as Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat this season, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel is reporting.

Never one to hide his frustration over the lack of a foul call, Wade will find less tolerance this season than last season, when his nine technical fouls tied him for eighth in the NBA.

"They're going to be very conscious of player complaining," coach Pat Riley said of the dictate handed down by the league at a recent coaching meeting. "That's one of the big things with them. Every call, there's always 10 guys complaining to the official and they're just telling them to cut it out."

Wade acknowledged Friday that the zero-tolerance approach was made clear at a Tuesday officiating seminar at AmericanAirlines Arena.

"It'll be an adjustment for everybody in the league," the fourth-year guard said. "I think the main adjustment will be for your reaction after you make a mistake yourself or miss a shot yourself.

"A lot of times, you might say something loud, maybe a cuss word loud, or kick the ball or throw it against the basket support. And now that's a tech. I think that's going to be the biggest thing for me."
