I dont know the situation but man, whatever was said or done had to have been bad. Or maybe Oakley was being an asshole, who knows?
You're right. I'd forgotten about that. I was thinking that Phil came right from coaching the Albany Patroons of the old CBA to the head coaching position with the Bulls. I'd forgotten he was an assistant in CHI for two years under Doug Collins before taking over as head coach. BNM
Ha! Yeah well, he is the one that got ejected out of there. He was pretty free with his hands before they hauled him out.
So what was up at the end there? Did he just lie down on the floor like a two year old and refuse to get up?
My guess is, everyone made a mistake. Oakley was mad about something, but not out of control. And, it was not Oakley that took it to a higher level. He was not the first to start the physical contact. He only pushed back when the guards grabbed him. I probably would have thrown five knuckle sandwiches if grabbed like that.
I think so. I was wondering the same thing. He just kind of goes dead weight and lays down. Then there is John McEnroe looking on thinking: Damn, so that's what I look like when I throw a fit
Or did he have a heart attack or something? I mean people started looking concerned and it almost looked like the security guy was doing CPR on him.
Looked to me like he was trying to talk with them and they just kept grabbing at him. Then again, they were asking him to leave and he would not do it of his own accord forcing them to take action. But, hell if I paid for tickets like that I'd be staying too. I'd have fought back too. I don't blame him.
I am sure if he had a heart attack we would have heard something to the affect that he was in the hospital and not in a jail cell.
