So many games against the same opponent in a short period of time leads to short tempers. And that leads to fights.
Plus, the league president, Joe Gagliardi, has no idea of what the schedule looks like. The 66ers played only 69 (instead of 70) games through June 18. The league changed the situation three times, before being told how to determine the first half winner between Inland and the Mavericks. Gagliardi admitted that he wasn't aware of the problem with the schedule.
