The message they are sending the coaches right now in the WNBA is this: If a fight breaks loose and you are a male coach, do not under any circumstances touch one of the players, even if it is to restrain or stop others from being attacked. Basically, sit on your butt and let the fight progress.

The message they are sending is "we got you again Detroit"!! First of all you don't mess with the Golden Girl or the former Golden Girl because we believe everything she says. I am thinking that key Sparks players were interviewed and concurred with Lisa Leslie's account of what occurred.

The second message is if you are a male coach in the women's league, you don't touch them even if you are trying to be a peacemaker.. If Micheal Cooper had any balz he would speak up and go to bat for Mahorn regarding the 2 game suspension...

Is there a rule saying that you can't push a mother?

Didn't LaBron tell his mama to shut up and sit her arse down at an NBA arena? Kevin Garnett did touch her and hold her back when Pierce and Labron tangled into the stands

At least they admitted Lisa Leslie threw a punch, but I ask this:

If an NBA coach was trying to remove a player from an altercation and that player took a swing at the coach before losing balance and falling down, would the coach be suspended?

And how many games would the person who afterwards decided to sucker-punch the coach in the back get?

If that would have been Cheryl Reeve instead of Rick Mahorn, would she be serving a 2 game suspension right now?

Would Lisa Leslie only be suspended 1 game for throwing a punch at her? Would Milton-Jones only be serving 1 game for punching her in the back?

I'm not sure I like or agree with the messages sent by the league today.

Maybe thats why nobody watches it - it friggen sucks.

That Lisa Leslie mommy thing and how she tried to rail Mahorn with it really turned me off to the sport. They act like Rick pushed over a Mom with 3 kids in the grocery store, for no apparent reason.

Now that would be truly despicable! What a jerk he would be if he did that on a regular basis. I'm really starting to hypethetically dislike this Mahorn character.

Hey! Who knew 8 pages of discussion would happen on this!

And you can't tell me that with nothing on TV but reruns and MLB in the dogdays none of you won't at least check it out.
