I would agree. The rules should be written so teams intentionaly causing technicals, inflict them on themselves, allong with possible disqualification. The 3 feet zone is only there to prevent a team from just standing in the goal and preventing teams from going through. Still, Powerhouse teams would not Likley be on goal defense, so I can't see them getting pushed in anyway.
