Bulpett getting in a sly dig?

["Thomas Murphy" <tfmiii@worldnet.att.net>]

Looks like even Bulpett, who comes across as pretty fair-minded, isn't above
the occasional dig at Rick the Ruler:

>>But unlike Rick Pitino, Seattle coach and former Celtic Paul Westphal is
not into protecting players with foul trouble. Payton stayed on the court
and played nearly the entire second quarter, scoring five points in the
Sonics' 9-0 run to a 42-38 lead.<<
