Belligerent,
Thanks for clearing up the whole "alleged" conundrum.I think I get it now. Karl Rove "allegedly" leaked information about Valerie Plume.LBJ "allegedly" cooked up the Gulf of Tonkin incident to launch the US in to involvement in Vietnam. On the other hand, Ron Artest did not "allegedly" go in to the stands and put his hands on fans. He did do this as it was seen by all in the arena.Is that about right? My objection to the word was really of a semantic nature, but thanks to your erudite and hilariously funny post I now see the error of my ways. This is not an incident that is simply my word versus his.

I was not at the game, but my information comes from a primary source that was at the game and saw the entire incident unfold at close range. As stated by LowerState 4a, the coach was using profanity during the course of the match and when the incident occurred the coach stepped on to the playing field. If you wish to believe Carson's second gunmen theory that is OK with me.

I have no ax to grind with anyone here. I hold Bridge in no way responsible for the actions of a coach that went over the edge and am confident that SCYSA and Bridge will handle the incident.

I will add though that loyalty is a great quality but that it does not rank above honor and doing the right thing.Thanks again Belligerent for making me a smarter man today. I'm out on this topic. Bombs away.
