Of course, Jones would have gotten beaten to within an inch of his life. Talk about taking one for the team.

Hmmmm....

Maybe someone could push Vaughn onto the court during an altercation.

Funniest post of the day, I may have to put that as a sig with the authors permission.

Why would Elson be suspended for being punched?

As for Tim and Bruce, they should've stayed near the bench. Why is this so difficult to understand?

I'm sure Elson would have fought back, maybe not.

My main point is that IF Jones had seen that Duncan and Bowen were already on the court, he could have escalated the situation by creating an altercation, thus getting Duncan and Bowen suspended. I said above, it was retarded of Duncan to go on the court in the first place.

:lmao well of course he'd quote scalia, scalia would be the best suited justice of them all to side with the league in this situation...anyway this is ridiculous and i'm surprised your ivy league friend would be dumb enough to compare this situation to anything related to the real legal world. HAHA, just as i suspected, a useless con law prof! sorry, con law is interesting and what everyone wants to be when they grow up (in law school at least) but way too many strict interpretationists for my taste

I guess it's ok, because this isn't an altercation." And why did Bowen go after him? Because Bowen recognized the danger Duncan was creating for himself. It's not stupidity -- it's human nature, and there's a lot to admire in it.

Don't confuse 'em with the facts.
