A law professor weighs in on Spurs-Suns

The thing is that if Jones saw Duncan, and was able to think fast enough, he would have had an incentive to deck Elson. That is the flaw, then again, nobody on the bench should get on the floor. But yeah, Duncan was being re ed.

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

And suspended.

And suspended.

And he would have gotten Elson suspended...


Hmmmm....

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

And suspended.

And Elson, and Timmy, and Bowen.

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

And Elson, and Timmy, and Bowen.

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 re ed of Duncan to go on the court in the first place.

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

Dude, Duncan left the bench in the same game. Fine, it wasn't an "altercation." Do you really believe that Duncan thought to himself, "Should I walk onto the floor to defend my teammate? 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.

oh jesus effing christ now Amare is a martyr.

here is the definition in case you don't know:
One who makes great sacrifices or suffers much in order to further a belief, cause, or principle.

completely asanine.

the Elson incident clearly was NOT an altercation. The players did not confront each other, much less have a fight.

Don't confuse 'em with the facts.
