Stern is a joke who caters to big name coaches and players. If the situation had been reversed and it had been a bull on the recieving end and a piston on the throwing end, Brown would have been on TV saying it was an innocent thing, and stern would have done nothing.
Watch the play.
Noc puts a deke move on Prince. Prince's footing gets cause up, which causes him to get his feet spread wide, and for his face to come down to a lower level. While Prince is off balance he reaches towards Noc. Noc tries to put his arms up to breakaway from Prince's grab, only Prince's face is at Noc's elbow height and he gets hit with a glancing blow off to the side of his eye.
To call it intentional is just wrong.
He caters to big name coaches and players? That's why he suspended Artest for the season and Jermaine O'Neal for 50 games?
Stern is the best commisioner in sports, by far.
