Exclamation Interesting option

Here in Australia there have been several cases of Coaches and Owners gettign fines for comments about the referees. So the NBL (Australia's version of the NBA) has decided to air a live TV show with the head of referees, Australia's top referee, and a panel of 3 or 4 coaches, plus the two show hosts. All coaches will be able to submit comments/questions to the panel before the show is filmed, and for the duration of the show it will be open-slather, with no fines for commenting on the standard of the referees.

I'm not sure that I agree with the concept, but it should make for some interesting viewing!
