It was me. I live in the Cincinnati area and am a fan of Xavier basketball. Sean Miller bolting Xavier for Arizona made me mad. REALLY mad. I wrote a letter to Ed and well, darned if he didn’t take care of it! ---

> [@](#): > > Scott told The Associated Press a day earlier that Rush’s remarks were part of an overall “point of emphasis” to crack down on coach misconduct on the sideline before the Pac-12 tournament semifinal. In the course of that presentation, he said Rush made an “inappropriate joke” that included offers of $5,000 and a trip to Cancun if they called a technical foul on Miller. So is Little Nemo willing to admit Rush made the statements he’s accused of? ---

Stop doing this. It’s bordering on harassment of another poster. I’m closing this thread now for what should be obvious reasons. If you want to make an updated topic about this subject, feel free, but don’t allude to or discuss any other poster of the SDMB other than yourself or I will shut it down as well.
