Why would a coach ask you to go in, and then hold you back?

15 05 2007

I can appreciate that the NBA is trying to clean up it’s act, I also think it’s pathetic that the NBA has suspended 3 players in the Spurs - Suns matchup. Let’s face it, this is the NBA Finals.

Diaw & Sto’dirty’mire are a bigger loss for one game than Horry is for two. The Suns will be at home without two of their best players.

Consistency…

How is a hip-check, which happens all of the time, not quite with such a flop on the receiving end, and/or leaving the bench to check on your teammate, worse than say, elbowing a player in the head knocking him down in a dead-ball situation. Say for instance the blow Fisher received from Baron Davis? No ejections there?

I’m convinced that the NBA would be 100% better off if instead of looking for the ‘most experienced refs’ looked for refs that were a little more consistent. If every ref called the game the same way every time. It would be a better show! The fans would know the fouls, the teams would know the fouls, and there would be peace in the world.

I just had to part with one comment. If Amare was simply ‘checking in’ on the dead ball situation, because the coach ‘told him to’. Why were the coaches trying desperately to hold him back?

Okay, who wins?

Which professional sports league is the biggest scandal right now?

Even a more severe penalty in Hockey gets a max of what 5 minutes?
