about half way through it now, thought i'd answer this one:

A technical foul study would be WAAAAY more interesting than this, I don't know why they didn't do that. I wouldn't be surprised if the correlation was 3-5 times stronger than for regular fouls.

they do look at flagrants and technicals. The same pattern emerges, but because of their rarity and smaller sample size, they aren't as statistically valid. For flagarants the effect IS statistically signifigant, but it isn't exactly a home run.
