It's a conference tournament game which means there will be a conference media representative available to handle things along with a producer for the radio station. Frankly, the conference person probably would've had more clout.

The part of this post that's irrelevant. By this logic, we shouldn't have the authority to dismiss anyone. Fans pay for tickets, are you going to say that we can't kick them out?
It's really simple. Say whatever you want on the air, but throw your hands up and you're asking for it. Sorry, but you don't get to act however you want on press row like fans do. (Just for the record, I have no problem with GM allowing him to return to the broadcast after a brief "time-out.")
