"The Celtics' Paul Pierce and the Sixers' Allen Iverson already had been
called for a double technical. When Pierce and the Sixers' Aaron McKie got
in each other's face, McKie was hit with a technical. And, as the officials
were pointing toward players, it appeared Pierce might be assessed another
technical, which would have meant an ejection. And that is when Sixers coach
Larry Brown, who believes dearly in the sanctity of the game, walked up the
sideline and told Hollins: "Don't throw him out of the game." That was
Brown's way of saying it was important to allow the players to decide the
outcome of an important game. Brown said Hollins replied they had to do what
was right; as it turned out, the designations remained and no one was
ejected."
