Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Sunday, November 27, 2005

While Americans focus on the college game, pro ball continues in Europe, in Asia and in Australia. Via Stever, we learn of the first-ever player ejection in the history of Australian women's pro hoops.

The tough defense wrestling match confusing fight involved Adelaide's Jenni Screen and Natalie Porter and Sydney Flame/ Phoenix Merc player Belinda Snell: Snell put Screen in a headlock, Porter retaliated with a shove, and Porter got ejected. Game tape apparently shows Snell as the guilty party, but also shows Porter elbowing future Connecticut Sun guard Erin Phillips in the head.
