Message: [QUOTE="LwrcasefaN, post: 4211566, member: 11185"] What's your definition of push? He was there because he came there. Watch the video and believe what you see. As a coach...he shouldn't have been chirping. Chirping, or whatever you want to call it...is escalation. He didn't need to defend Gard who was already separated from Howard. Separation...both head coaches headed in two different directions is de-escalation. And you're RIGHT...Howard came out of nowhere because...he had been leaving until....the assistant started the pushing. He should have been gathering his kids and heading to the locker room. Gard is gone and there was zero need to defend anything. It was over. You seem to think my issue is with Howard being suspended. It's not. I'm not buying this notion that the actions of others didn't contribute to an actual brawl. What Howard did has no bearing on the professional responsibilities of other coaches. They don't get a pass from me just because they got hit. [/QUOTE]
