December 30, 200718 yr If they don't want to play, they shouldn't get paid. Afterall that is what they're paying them for right?
December 30, 200718 yr I hate when players say it hurts their pride when they are asked to play the last minute of the game. If they do not want to play, don't be on the team I say.
December 31, 200718 yr It will be interesting to see if there are other incidents. If so, it could be a sign of things to come for the head coach - as in pink slip.
December 31, 200718 yr I take the players side of this... It was my Senior season and My Coach keep me on the sideline until the last 15 Seconds of the game.... It really hurt me and I will always have a hatred for that coach, If there on the team play them. Don't just throw them in in the last 57 seconds.... PAY THEM TO PLAY OR TO SIT ON THE BENCH just make a decision before 57 seconds left in the game...
January 3, 200818 yr I think Jones and Brown have been at each other for a while. Hard to believe on Newble though.
January 3, 200818 yr Another reason on the list that keeps me from buying/supporting ANYTHING that comes from the NBA and the lazy, ungrateful thugs that are paid to play in it.

PAY THEM TO PLAY OR TO SIT ON THE BENCH just make a decision before 57 seconds left in the game... It is any coach's decision on who plays and when and if they don't wanna play even if it's for the last seconds of the game then don't show up. That is part of team basketball. You do what the coach says whether you like it or not because he is in charge and no one is forcing anyone to be there. No one is forcing Damon Jones or Ira Newble to be there, they can probably go get a desk job for all Mike Brown cares, but if they are on that team on his bench, then they need to do what he says.
January 4, 200818 yr I have to take the players side in this one. Why would you want to go in for the last 57 seconds? Because if you don't want to play get a new job. The coach is your boss. This is terrible, who would turn down a chance to get on the floor, I'll go do it for free.

PAY THEM TO PLAY OR TO SIT ON THE BENCH just make a decision before 57 seconds left in the game... Well thats a bit more understandable. Atleast its not your job and you weren't getting paid.

January 4, 200818 yr I think these losers who should be cut on the spot are not worthy of a thread. Cut them and let them go find real jobs, that would be the ultimate.

PAY THEM TO PLAY OR TO SIT ON THE BENCH just make a decision before 57 seconds left in the game... It could have been worse. You could have been one of the kids that got cut and never had a chance to put on a uniform. Do I think the coach made a classless move by putting you in for 15 seconds, yes I do. But just remember there is always someone who has it worse than you brother.
January 4, 200818 yr If you cut them, they sign on to another team and get paid. Suspend them for the max and let them go a time period without getting paid.
