You most have terrible TV reception (and Celtic homer goggles) because Mike Brown has been only been ejected twice in his entire head coaching career.

Not true, read his post. He said he's seen Mike Brown be rejected for arguing an obvious call. The fact that he's been ejected twice is irrelevant to that statement.

Save that if he hadn't been ejected ever as a coach then he'd have to be lying/exaggerating.

My point on the # of ejections was that he's been ejected twice...because he does not complain excessively.

EVERY coach argues calls, even obvious ones. Sometimes obvious calls on TV are a lot more obvious than in real life.  Players & coaches don't have the luxury of multiple camera angles and are positioned at times 30-50 feet away from the play. He doesn't do anything different than anyone else. 

We all saw Doc get tossed last night on a weird sequence, but I do not fault him for jeering the refs.  It's his job to fight for his players.

Obviously everyone is entitled to his/her opinion.

That is a fair point, you've stated it much more clearly this time.

I must say though Mike Brown isn't the one who goes over board complaining for call on the Cavs for me, it is LeBron. He gets the superstar treatment but man does he work the officials for more and more. When I watch Cavs games my roommate in the living room can hear his deep voice scream "and one" after every drive to the bucket.
