In the third quarter of the Bulls preseason opener against the Wizards, Kirk Hinrich was called for a foul, made a brush-off wave with his arm toward the referee and got a technical foul.

?I think it?s about time,? Bulls coach Scott Skiles said of the new policy. ?I?ve grown very weary of the constant complaining most of the teams do. I think they?ve let it go on too long.

?I think more than anything they?re just concerned about the constant lobbying. While somebody?s shooting a free throw, there?s three guys over talking the guy?s ear off. They?re going to try to stop that.?

Already, the no-whining edict has been dubbed the ?Rasheed Wallace Rule? by none other than the technical-collecting Pistons forward himself.

?It just means I must be doing something right,? Wallace said in the Detroit News. ?Any time they change the rules of the game for one specific player, you must be doing something right.?
