No offense meant whatsoever, Celt, but Dude!!!!!

These are adults, and if they can't learn to control their outbursts, that's THEIR problem. Create awareness and motivation? Give me a break.

Hit their bank accounts a few times and make them the target of ridicule, anger and scorn by their teammates, and that'll motivate their poor little spoiled brat arses.

These are NOT normal adults. These are professional athleets. Watching College athleets on and arround school and then tell me that as a group they "get it" Look at High school athleets as a group and tell me they "get it." Byt the time the little prima dona's hit the NBA a very LARGE percentage of these do not think they are special they KNOW it. Normal adult behavior standards do not apply to them.

Actually I think the LAST thing the league needs is more owners whining about the refs -- that really smears the game. If that's going to be done, it needs to be done behind the scenes, not in grandstanding Cubanesque fashion.

You are correct. I should have been more clear about the owners dealing privately with the league. It's what I meant, but not what I wrote..
