"I haven't seen the footage."

I have. He flipped it underhand from near the middle of the court in the general direction of the ref on the sideline, it bounced near the ref's feet and into the stands. Per NBA rules, if a player throws the ball into the stands - no matter how hard - it's a tech and an ejection.

"AC: Artest's suspension equated to more than 70 games."

Thanks for correcting me, I should've just looked it up!

There again, it is a question of handling/minimizing risk.

After all how many NBA players would ever actually get so many bad calls from an NBA crew in any game that they would seriously consider throwing the ball at a ref ?

As compared to a reasonably realistic estimate of how many time in one game would a NBL player who knew the rules want to smack a ref with a ball in the NBL ?

so proprotionally

Markieff Morris contract
2016-17: $7,400,000
2017-18: $8,000,000
2018-19: $8,600,000

penalty
1) $25,000 ( or .33% of that years gross income)
2) no suspension

Tony Mitchell

penalty
1) full NBL season suspension
2) 100% of any possible FIBA sanctioned contract for next year.

basically trying to make the guy unemplyed for the next 12 months.

And Ron Artest was suspended for the REMAINDER of the season for brawling with fans in the stands.

NBL was clearly too heavy handed

Yep.

NBL is a joke.

Steph Curry tossed his mouthguard in the finals last year and hit a fan FFS!!
