I hate that rule.
I hate that rule.
its obvious he saw the stoppage of play and went to check himself in

Still in the VICINITY of the bench.
that's a weird looking dude right behind ivaroni (sp?) on the right
You notice his head is turned toward the scorer table to check-in.
I like it. It keeps brawls from occuring, and states the punishment if they do. If you make it arbitrary to situation and make the rule muddy, it makes it ineffective. Players know the rule, only the dumbest break it in the playoffs. If you're that dumb, you deserve to sit.
smells like suspension
Hopefully there's a picture of Beno and Vaughn getting up and we can force pop to trim the rotations.
On the floor and you are GONE i keep saying this people need to start listening look at Knicks/Heat 97 Ewing and others barely on the court and they were gone.
If Stoudemire got suspended for this, the league would ruin a brilliant series.
There should be no suspensions for either team over this. This is the ing playoffs, exceptions to rules should be made in this scenario. Stoudemire didn't cause any problems, Diaw didn't cause any problems, Horry and Bell didn't really fight, they just got physical.
All players involved should be on the court in Game 5.
Depends how you define vicinity. He's on the court and he ventures away from being in front of the bench.
Yeah cause he always has that what the look when he checks himself in
You see that white line that was crossed? That's the coaches box - the limits of the vicinity of the bench. Besides, the NBA precedents have already made it where one step gets a suspension. Vicinity no longer matters since the precedent has been upheld several times in the past.
Yeahk, him and 18,000 other people...![]()
if he was on his way to check in then why are the suns coaching staff trying to restrain him hahahaha bunch of in morons
Yeah, I know it's designed to stop fights, and I understand that it's a zero tolerance rule. I want him in the building.
And maybe Elson too. We don't need him at all with Diaw, Amare gone.
I agree ; the Knicks-Heat series (1997) were ruined because of similar incidents (and same rules)
You are right. Once you get past that coaches' box line - that's usually what would be consider "not in the vicinity" any longer.
booo, i had to pay $54 for the mayweather/de la hoya fight...this would've been free!....anyway, i wouldn't give up anything to not have that barkley/shaq throwdown or to laugh at jeff van gundy sweeping the floor with his suit during the heat/knicks brawl, those were funny as
Refs ruined this series already.
I could go for that, but it could set precedents that would make the league more violent. it, they're getting millions of dollars
