I only counted refs that refereed at least 45 games in 2012-2013
Brian Forte called the most technical fouls per game (1.3)
Haywoode Workman called the least number of technical fouls per game (0.48)
The average official called technical fouls per game: 0.866

While Joey Crawford has gotten a reputation for calling a lot of technical fouls, Joey Crawford has given out technical fouls at a rate below the league average this year.
