This is from my local papers site today. If it's true that they will fine you now for reading your lips then I think this is just a little too much. I'm not a fan of these new rules this year as it is. But this is even more then I thought the NBA would pull. If it's true.

[nba is the worst]

Unreal - $50K for something NOT said to the refs OR media after the game is over?

I hope the team or player's association appeals this BS...

if this is true, then this is way too much. i wonder what the league will comment on this issue.

Or so he claims. Fact is, he got T-ed up in this game ans was his usual nuisance self. Doesn't help his case.

What did he say? No new taxes?

The NBA is the worst.

This would be very bad on the nba's part but consider the source- Stephen "Disgruntled" Jackson.  He ranks up there with the Rasheed Wallaces of the world.

Overall, I don't like the NBA ref's new approach but I can't deny that there has been a reduction in scowls and whines after every call -- an annoying aspect of the game.

but 50k??? that's a huge fine. Players usually only get around a 20k fine for criticizing officials in the media, let alone talking to themselves

Can't believe that...!

Surely there's something that we haven't caught in this story. Maybe that was just the final straw?

If this is the case, poor SJackson.

This is the height of absurdity ... I mean, come ON! Can we get back to the real world, please Mr. Stern?!?

True

True

I agree, but I find myself almost as annoyed at the lack of consistency in the application of techs - so it's a wash...
