No offense, but you guys are all missing the point of the fine and the threat of banishment. They are not for complaining about the refs. They are b/c van Gundy refused to cooperate with the league's investigation of who might have leaked information about the officiating to him.
There is a league by-law (Article 24, I believe) that requires cooperation with any league investigation. Since van Gundy would not reveal who told him that Ming was a "target", he got slapped down hard.
This is not about complaining. This is about defiance of the league office.
