Scott Skiles is a dumbass. I'd love to see him coach Artest
Villanueva scolded for Twittering at halftime of Bucks game
It might be the next big thing in online social networking, but Milwaukee Bucks coach Scott Skiles isn't a big fan of Twitter.
At least not when one of his players is posting from the Bucks' locker room during halftime of a critical game.
Bucks forward Charlie Villanueva got a talking-to from Skiles after the coach learned Villanueva posted a message to his Twitter feed -- a "tweet" -- from his mobile phone during halftime of Sunday's home victory over Boston.

Bucks won, he played his best in second half, so not big deal. Although Skiles reputation could be damagaed since he was considered tough coach.
Damn, Skiles is really a conservative SOB
First, Ben Wallace, now that?
I think it is more of a focus issue for Skiles.
Anyone who is ing about this obviously hasn't played team basketball. Some coaches don't even allow players to untie their shoes before he's given his postgame routine. Even worse considering it was halftime.
Can someone explain to me the utility of twitter?
i can't i've never used one
best as I can tell, it's merely the status updates portion of Facebook. I don't get it.
Now will you explain facebook because I don't have one of those either lol.
"I'm thinking of explaining the utility of twitter to Findog"
facebook is addicting. I probably spend a little too much time on it. I usually have it up 80% of the time I'm at work, and I'll be on a little at night sometimes. The novelty of these things wear off though.
I've been meaning to get facebook or twitter I always hear people talking about them so I thought id give them a shot just to lazy to sign up haha... yea myspace use to be kind of addicting for me lol.
The first week you get one, your on it 24/7. Now, I spend about 20 minutes a day on myspace.
A bit harsh for Skiles to scold arguably his best player at this moment don't you think?
Not at all. There's plenty of time for that after the game, or even prior to preparing for the game. It all has a time and a place, and it certainly isn't during the game. I consider halftime still being in the game.
Indeed. But myspace didn't have that affect on me, whereas facebook sure as does.
And if anyone wants to be friends on facebook, just pm me. But don't send me an invite for any team, cuz I accidently accepted something from a lakers fan, and now I get laker updates.
i dont get the big deal. if he wasn't doing it while skiles was announcing the game-plan, i think he gets a pass. if it was kobe would he get chewed out by phil?
exactly
focus
What's next? Twittering during a game?
appropriate, shouldnt be on twitter in the middle of the game.
New Web celeb Villanueva back on Twitter
Milwaukee Bucks forward Charlie Villanueva was back on his Twitter account Wednesday—safely before tipoff this time.
Villanueva’s widely publicized experiment with posting to the popular social networking Web site during halftime of a big game has ended at the team’s request. But Villanueva still isn’t sure he did anything wrong.
“I have my own personal opinion on it,” Villanueva said after Milwaukee’s 106-80 loss to Orlando Wednesday night. “I understand coaches and GMs and I respect them. I’m not going to go against them, but my own personal opinion is we do have time (during halftime) anyways.”
Villanueva wonders if there’s really any difference between a player taking a few seconds to do a television interview at halftime and taking a few seconds to use their mobile phone to post a Web message to fans.
“It’s kind of a double standard, but that’s coach’s opinion and the team’s opinion and I’m going to respect it,” Villanueva said.
" Wow, did you guys just see my dunk? "
This reminds of me of a game I played in a few years ago. One of my teammates on the bench had a watch that was also a walky talky. He'd communicate with people in the stands. One game he actually got in, and he forgot he was wearing the watch. We were dying on the bench (blowout).
From there on out, every time he got playing time we'd say, "What time is it?!" He was a 6'8 project, but very athletic. He ended up dropping out of school to pursue music.
(FYI: If you don't like my story, you can kiss my ass)
