FIVE QUICK HOOPS THOUGHTS: 1. FLIP SAUNDERS (Timberwolves): Im not the least bit surprised that he appointed himself as head coach after his search concluded. The president had the most successful run of any coach in franchise history and is a good fit at this stage. The fact that hes got lots of power in the organization will help him in the locker room because players will know that the buck stops with him. That always helps a coach. 2. NBA FINALS FORMAT: I love the fact that the NBA has gone with the 2-2-1-1-1 traditional format. Im a huge believer that the finalist that had the better regular season deserves to be able to host that critical Game 5. This was a smart move to get in line with the demands of the fans and most coaches and executives. 3. NBA REFEREES: You can say what you want about officials and I have a tendency to mildly voice my opinion from time to time (haha) about them, but on the whole they do a terrific job and the playoffs are really difficult to call. I really like what the league has done this year with trying to keep officiating crews together during the Pplayoffs. Im a fan of consistency and, the more a crew works together, the more cohesive they become. It helps a great deal and it not only makes sense, but its smart. 4. ABC ANNOUNCERS: I absolutely love listening to Mike Breen, Jeff Van Gundy, Mark Jackson and Doris Burke. Insightful, prepared, enthusiastic and entertaining - a really enjoyable listen that enhances the experience of watching the game and helps promote the sport. Just like the Spurs and Heat on the floor, this is the best game broadcast team in hoops. Theres a nice balance of opinion and strategy brought each telecast. For me, a joy to listen to. 5. RASHARD LEWIS (Heat): Lewis dropped 14 points in Game #2 and its nice having veteran experience on the floor. His perimeter shot-making ability is critical and he gives them better size to deal with the Spurs penetration and post-ups in the paint. Hes got a ton of big game experience and it showed in a huge win for Miami. LeBron was brilliant, yet you must have unsung heroes to help complement the stars. This is a guy on many nights this season was a DNP or barely played. Lewis is a true pro whos ready when called upon. Nick Bellore Jersey . Five years ago, Nestor and Zimonjic beat the American twins to win the title. But the Bryans, the worlds top-ranked team, needed 74 minutes to earn the victory Saturday as both Nestor and Zimonjic lost serve in the second set. Anthony Zettel Jersey . Jesus Navas bookended yet another huge home win for City by scoring after 14 seconds and again in second-half stoppage time, with Sergio Aguero also netting in each half to add to an own goal by Sandro and a brilliant strike by Alvaro Negredo. http://www.officialdetroitlionsfootball....y-jersey-womens Dwayne Washington Jersey . - Young and old.

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Dear Kerry, In Saturdays game between Minnesota and Dallas, an altercation erupted when Minnesotas Ryan Carter shoved Dallas Stars defenceman Trevor Daley into the Dallas netminder. During the ensuing melee, Stu Bickel is engaged with a Dallas opponent when Daley jumps in to participate in the existing fight. Daley holds Bickels arms at his side while the Dallas teammate lands a punch on Bickels face. While the Minnesota players clearly deserved to be responded to by the Dallas players on the ice due to Carters actions, I was surprised that Daleys actions did not warrant a third man in penalty. Did the officials on the ice get this one right because the Wild players were deserving of a response, or did the officials miss this one that should have been called? When would a player get a third man in penalty? Thanks, Chris Los Angeles, California, USA Chris: After Trevor Daley was aggressively shoved to the ice by Ryan Carter and a scrum quickly developed, it was apparent that Daleys initial intention was to act as a peacemaker by grabbing Stu Bickell in the crease and attempt to prevent him from attacking Jason Demers. Once the players separated however, and a full blown fight developed between Bickel (instigator and aggressor) and Demers, the subsequent bear-hug wrap of Bickel by Daley behind the net constituted a third man in situation. Going to the aid of a teammate that was being pummeled might earn Daley additional respect around his dressing room but it does not negate the application of the third man in penalty unless a match penalty was being imposed in the original altercation. Since that was not the case, Daley should have received a roughing minor and game misconduct under rule 46.16 - third man In. The bear-hug from behind pinned Bickels arms at his side rendering the Minnesota player unable to defend himself and allowed Demers to land two hard direct hits to Bickels face. The third man in rule was instituted for this very purpose, namely to prevent a two on one situation in a fight that provides a distinct advantage to one player and could result in serious injury. The rule was also initiated to prevent a gang warfare mentaality that often resulted in line brawls and bench clearings during that era of the game.dddddddddddd Rule 46.16 (third man In) is written in very general terms and states that a game misconduct, at the discretion of the Referee, shall be imposed on any player who is the first to intervene (third man in) in an altercation already in progress except when a match penalty is being imposed in the original altercation. This rule also applies to subsequent players who elect to intervene in the same or other altercations during the same stoppage of play. Despite the lack of clarity as to what level of player intervention is required for a referee to apply a third man in penalty, it is incumbent upon the referees to understand the spirit and intent of this rule as I described above in order to apply their discretion properly. This particular situation, like other infractions that occur on a less frequent basis, require that the referees be updated and coached by the Officiating Department on an ongoing basis so the officials have a clear understanding of when to impose the proper penalty. The application of the 3rd man in and instigator rules have been watered down and even lost to some degree in recent years for a variety of reasons. Attrition of the officiating staff has brought in younger and inexperienced referees and fighting incidents are becoming less frequent within the game. Many referees demonstrate a reluctance to impose these penalties. Perhaps it is a lack of clear understanding as to what is expected or even a fear that their penalty will subsequently be rescinded by Hockey Operations should the team lodge a formal protest, as is often the case. This altercation quickly progressed from a roughing minor penalty that was being assessed to Carter for needlessly knocking Daley to the ice after the play was dead, to a scrum and then two separate fights taking place simultaneously. Trevor Daleys initial intervention could be overlooked as a peacekeeping mission. Once the players moved from the crease area and punches were being exchanged between Bickel and Demers however, the bear-hug by Daley provided a distinct advantage to his teammate and could only be construed as a third man in situation. Trevor Daley was not assessed a penalty of any sort for his actions during this altercation.
