 SAN ANTONIO (AP) - David Stern knows there are people who still think the NBA's bench suspension rule is unfair and needs to be scrapped. None, apparently, runs one of its franchises.
Stern said Thursday night there has been "no proposal" to change the rule, which gives a minimum one-game suspension to a player who leaves the bench during an altercation.
The rule and its application came under fire during the second round of the playoffs, when the Phoenix Suns lost two players — and perhaps along with them their chance to be in the NBA finals instead of the Spurs — before being ousted by San Antonio.
