Mike Gorman getting chalked etc.

No.

Neither has Red ever tried to commit premeditated murder of a coach; 
or gotten arrested for weapons violations, drug abuse, DUI, or 
federal racketeering charges.

Not everyone in the NBA can say that. (Lest anyone misread this, I'm 
NOT referring to KG specifically, merely pointing out that as things 
go, there ARE people in the NBA past and present who've done a lot 
worse than Red.)
