Knicks game delayed when Maccabi coach won’t leave

NEW YORK (AP)—The New York Knicks’ 106-91 exhibition victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv was delayed for about 8 minutes in the third quarter Sunday when the visiting coach refused to leave the floor after being ejected.

In a bizarre scene, a rabbi even came onto the court to ask the referees to let Pini Gershon remain. Gershon eventually left after a discussion with the officials, his assistant coaches and NBA security personnel.

Gershon was hit with two quick technical fouls in the third quarter, the second coming on a play that went against the Knicks. New York’s Al Harrington(notes) was called for an offensive foul right in front of the Maccabi bench, and Gershon quickly started screaming at replacement referee Ben Taylor, who ejected him.

When Gershon didn’t seem to be listening to any of the basketball officials, Rabbi Yitchak Dovid Grossman, founder and dean of Migdal Ohr, tried to get involved by talking to the referees. But rules say anyone who is ejected must leave the court, and eventually Gershon did.

Migdal Ohr, the world’s largest orphanage, received the proceeds from the exhibition game between the Knicks and the Euroleague team from Israel.

The guy is well known in European basketball for his behaviour, but I didn't expect him to show his typical antics in a friendly game against an NBA team.

RFU match between Scotland and Australia has just kicked off.

Seems to be quite a few Aussies in the crowd, who gave a good account of “Advance Australia fair”.

The Scots crowd did a nice rendition of “Flower of Scotland” or the Braveheart Song, as I call it.

I expect the Wallabies will be too much for the Scots today, but the weather is very pro-Scottish with rain, wind, floods and intermittent porridge.
(Not BBQ weather at all.)

Come on the Jocks!

RFU = Rugby Union

EDIT: Holy cr*p, the Jocks won 9-8!
The Aussies had 59 turnovers to 9 for the Scots in the 22 meter area but failed to score
(22 m line is a bit like the NFL Red Zone.).
The TV pundits were calling it a “great defensive victory”. This is the first time in 27 YEARS that Scotland has beaten the Aussies.
