Has anyone heard about this incident?

I just saw this item in an article by "Boston sports guy"
http://home.digitalcity.com/boston/sportsguy/main.dci?page=sg060399
and was wondering if any of you had heard anything about it before. This is
the first I've heard of it. 

>>
* Out of anyone on the team, Mercer seemed the most unhappy last season,
especially as the losses mounted. Insiders claim he's tiring of Pitino's
act after four years (two at Kentucky, two in Boston); some say Mercer has
never forgiven Pitino for upbraiding him for poor play on a team flight in
front of his teammates (it happened after a game in Phoenix during Mercer's
rookie season -- apparently, the coach was so harsh that Mercer almost
broke into tears).<<

And BTW, FWIW if the Knicks were robbed in game two, then game three was
"payback" because that 4-point 'continuation' was absolutely the worst call
I've seen since Hue Hollins whistled Pippen during MJ's (first) retirement.


Best wishes
