I heard an interview between Dan Patrick and David Stern on Stern enforcing the rule to keep the Phoenix players out the next game. Patrick would kind of agree with Stern but then again not really. Stern would just hold fast and say the rule had to be enforced. One exchange went something like this. Not quotes but close....

Patrick: But the Suns were reacting to the hard foul.

Stern: So does that mean we enforce the rule unless there is a hard foul??

Patrick: No. That's not what I mean. There had been hard fouls all night and they were tired of it.

Stern: Oh I see. So if there are several hard fouls then we don't follow the rule. Is that it??

Patrick: No that's not it....

etc. etc.

Scheez. What a maroon. Patricik would try to get wedges in there all the time but it didn't work. It just shows the lack of common sense these guys have. It was funny to listen to. If you can find it anywhere go listen.
