Another view on the Spree situation

[Warwick Janetzki <giants@icplus.net.au>]

you've all said that the coach is the boss.

In fact he is not.

The general manager hires the coach, players, ball boys, training staff
and all employees of the franchise. He has the right to fire a coach,
has the right of doing everything that he wishes to do pretty much,
although the owner has the last say.

Spree in effect did not attack his boss, he attacked another employee of
the Golden State Warriors, allbeit someone higher ranked than him. If he
was to attack the boss, he would have attacked Saint-Jean. The penalty
for attacking the general-manager has been set at nothing (Alvin
Robertson when he attacked his GM!).
