The Sprewell Suspension
0Latrell Sprewell of the NBA's Golden State Warriors was recently suspended for one year after choking verbally abusive coach P.J. Carlesimo during a team practice. Some are calling the suspension too harsh. What do you think?
“I don't know what I'd do if a coach criticized my dribbling. I'd probably stab him to death.”
Randall Keyes –
Bank Teller“Suspending Sprewell is not enough. Carlesimo should be awarded two free throws and the ball.”
Ken LaBranca –
Gardener“I think it's obvious what happened. Carlesimo must have foolishly asked Sprewell to make believe he had called without using 1-800-COLLECT.”

Systems Analyst“Why didn't Sprewell just go out and beat up someone smaller and weaker than him? That's what I used to do when I was on the high-school wrestling team.”

Todd Worth –
Waiter“One good thing about this incident is the fact that, although a black player assaulted a white coach, nobody has blown it into an explosive, racially polarized powder keg. Allow me to be the first.”
