WNBA fight (try again)

[Jay R]

Let's see if we can try this again.

My observation is one that I haven't heard anyone mention, so maybe I'm wrong.

I believe that when coaches come on to the floor to stop a fight or prevent a possible fight, it is important that they grab or stop their own players and not the opposition. Bill Lambeir and Michael Cooper were stopping their players while Mahorn for some reason went to Lisa Leslie. IMHO, I think this just makes the situation worse than if he had stayed on the bench and not tried to be a peacemaker. In fact, I'm not convinced he was trying to be a peacemaker because of that very reason.
