I agree that no matter the justification (In this case none) hitting
your coach is a no no. No NBA team will put up with it as evidenced last
season when Robert Horry threw the towel at Danny. How long was he a Sun
after that? I think Sprewell for all his talent isn't worth the negative
baggage he would bring to the Celtics. I also think this talented young
man has some serious issues that need to be dealt with before anyteam
finds him very attractive. Just my thoughts and YMMV. Later.Mike
