Brown and Iverson fined for criticizing officials

March 11, 2003

NEW YORK (AP) -- Philadelphia 76ers head coach Larry Brown and guard
Allen Iverson were each fined $7,500 by the NBA on Tuesday for
criticizing referee Derrick Stafford.

Following Philadelphia's 14-point loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on
Sunday, Iverson claimed Stafford had a ``vendetta'' against the 76ers.
Stafford called two technical fouls against the Sixers, and referee Joe
Forte called a third, during one stoppage of play in the third quarter of
the Sixers' 106-92 loss.

``I don't think we had a shot after that. It is just frustrating,''
Iverson said. ``I think that referee, Derrick, has a vendetta against us
and it was evident today. We weren't able to talk to him at all. When we
asked about things, he gave us smart comments and pretty much juked us.''

Brown echoed Iverson's comments.

``One of the officials has it personal for some of our players and if
that wasn't the greatest forum to see that, nothing is. He's been
personal with us for a long, long time,'' Brown said.

The fines were announced by NBA vice president Stu Jackson.
