Veteran NBA Referee Bill Spooner reportedly made a comment to T-Wolves Coach Kurt Rambis about a make-up call during a game January 24th between the puppies and Rockets. AP sports writer John Krawczynski apparently having media court side seats overheard the exchange. Krawczynski referenced this in a tweet and is now being sued by the referee.
A couple of thoughts on this, first of all Mr. Spooner you need to sack up. If you didn't say it or more importantly didn't take any action that could be construed as a make up call then you would have nothing to worry about. Secondly if you did say it then you are accountable, not that the NBA would act because well.....their legitmacy is....
I follow Mr. Krawczynskis tweets and from what I have seen he conducts himself well and unlike some doesn't just throw things at the wall to see what sticks.....I believe the tweet! Sack up Mr. Spooner!
Last item regarding this is that another NBA writer who shall remain nameless (I'll never tell Mr. Aschburner) cried in a tweet of his own stating that the remaining media would be victims in this dispute and would lose their court side seats. How sad!! Then responding to a tweet sarcastically labeling the media as victims, the nameless reporter stated he meant that not only the media but the fans would be the true victims, that they sit in those seats for the fans that can' t afford them! LOL!
