    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"I thought I saw him hit (John) Stockton in the face with an elbow and, bang, I hit him with a technical," said the veteran NBA official. "The problem was that Stevie had already gotten one earlier, and that meant he was gone.

    "I felt bad. The kid was so on that night. He was making every shot. It looked like he was going to break Wilt's 100-point record for a game. Then after the game I looked at the tape, and I felt even worse. I was sick to my stomach. He never touched him. It was the worst ejection of my life."

    "He just smiled at me and said, 'Thanks, Joe. I needed to hear that.' "

    Thanks for posting this, but I'm going to close this thread. Not much to do with the Rockets, although it is written with Steve Francis in mind.
