Stern has obviously backed down somewhat from the ball issue.

The poor sportsmanship is starting to trickle down from the NBA to the HS level. I don't tolerate that kind of behavior on the court...as you must already know

But something does need to be done about it. And if they clean it up in the pros, it will trickle down and we won't have many problems.

BTW, in the league I run, one of the players wanted to use his brand new NBA ball as the game ball. He tossed it to me for approval, and I told him he's gotta be kidding me. That ball is not fit for a youth league game, let alone the NBA, it's a freaking rubber ball. I can understand the players issues with this. That ball will never have a place on a HS court where I'm working
