To a point, this particular discussion in this part of the thread is being boiled down to semantics, particularly Camron's last post.

I think we can all agree that statements like the one at the end of your post quoted above are pure horse poo and we all grow weary at some time or another of having to hear it.

You are right... we cannot FORCE a player to play nice. But if he wants to play, then he better be there to play basketball, not be a goon. Usually getting sat on the bench due to foul trouble or disqualification is a powerful motivator.
