Jackson doesn’t grasp Stern warnings
Round 1 went to David Stern on Thursday night when the NBA commissioner went Dirty Harry style and dared coaches and players to “make my day” by publicly criticizing game officials. He said they risked not just a fine but a suspension.
On Friday, Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson fought back.
“I think when you start throwing one- and two-game suspensions in the threats, I think that means a lot to both ball clubs and coaches,” Jackson said at Lakers practice. “It seems awful heavy-handed to me, but David is one who isn’t shy about being heavy-handed.”
