Chuck,
I think the pulling of the D was the unsportmanlike act, not the crowd's laughter. IMO, the couch "taunted" our team, in a sense. I hope you can appreciate the possible perception of his act as unsportsmanship, regardless of your own experienced judgement call that his "gift" of an unconested lay-up may not be unsporting. Again, from my perception, he was saying very publicly, "you guys stink so badly that you don't even deserve the respect of our putting our team on the floor." Our stinkage is not really very arguable, but the very public display of a lack of respect seemed unsporting to me. I do thank you all for your opinions/judgements. I asked for them and I did not expect all to agree with my perception.
