Team Sits Noah

This is just truly bizarre.

Bulls rookie Joakim Noah had some unpleasent words with an assistant coach over Noah's inability to learn plays. Coach Boylan sits him for one game as a punishment. Then team voted to sit him an extra game?!? And Boylan sat him! Maybe he deserved 2 games (or 3 or 5 or 10) for what he did. Apparently he has some issues with being late. But Boylan needs to keep control. He said one game, it should have been one. And B. Wallace criticizing someone else's relationship with a coach? That's rich!

Besides that is what Kangaroo Kourt is for. When a teammate does something his/her teammates dislike they get to punish him/her in their own way. Noah could be buy dinner the next two road games, Noah could be carrying everyone's duffle bags for a week, he could be "fined" by having to donate extra to a team charity, he could have to shoot 100 extra free throws at the next practice. All of them are options The team doesn't get to make game time decisions.
