Only one that I know of.

Chris "Mad Dog" Russo made a big deal about this on the FAN, too. But frankly, I think it's a non-issue. First of all, I don't think they're
required by contract to do those stupid halftime interviews. And second of all, they're really
stupid interviews. Does anyone actually
want to hear the same platitudes from every coach during every halftime?
Sideline "reporter": Coach, your team shot 0.66% in the first half, you were out-rebounded 48-1, yet your only down by 62 points. What will your squad have to do to pull this one out?
Coach: Well, Barbie, that's why we play
two halves, right? I mean, we feel we're right in this thing and if we can force a couple turnovers with our press and just hit our mid-range jumpers, we'll be in great position at the end of this game.
Barbie: Well, good luck, Coach, and thanks for --
Coach: Aw, heck. Who am I kidding, right? We need their whole squad to come down with the black plague in the next 15 minutes or so, or else we're screwed.
Barbie: Fair enough. Thanks, Coach. Back to you, Kenny.
