However, as this story continues to unfold, (there is another write up about it in the Dallas Morning News Today) some of us will likely see another point to the story and thereby making another opinion of the whole situation. I could very well be one of those people.

I'd say this guy got exactly what he deserved.

See Rich's comment. A Slippery Slope Indeed!!!
Base on your strong comment, I'm assuming you had first hand knowledge of the entire situation?? If not, how can you, in good conscience, say: "(he) got exactly what he deserved"?
The actions by the game admin. are definitely not a good precedent. I'm with Chuck on this, 'it's my game til the 32 min. are up and my partner and I have left the vicinity of the court.'

I didn't say you couldn't have an opinion, I only questioned how you could make such a strong, unqualified statement like you did. And only to get you thinking more in depth. And, as you have pointed out in your most recent post, waited to get more than one side as well as more info from other sources.
If you had said something like: "If this happened as reported then he got exactly what he deserved.", then I would have no qualms with your opinion at all.
