Mike Breen Quotes 6 Sourced Quotes
I want to see the foul again, because, it appeared Wallace was past him and Artest shoved him, and that's what Wallace took exception to, but you still can't react that way. You got to let it go. It's not a normal foul, but not that hard, and—and Ben Wallace can't react that way. Wallace is still charged up. Now Wallace, I would assume has been ejected. The way Stephen Jackson's carrying on, they should eject him as well. The problem is, if Wallace is ejected, I'm not sure, he'd have to walk past the Pacer bench to go— Mike Breen
The game has been called, which was the right call. The outcome obviously is over, and players—and fans in danger with the emotions and the tempers being completely lost. It all started with a foul, Ron Artest with a foul, that Ben Wallace deemed, was too hard—as you see the Pacers going underneath the tunnel, trying to cover their heads. You can see the debris, some of it being aimed at them, and a lot of it you can't see, but is just missing wildly. The security did their best, but it had escalated to a point where there's players and fans fighting in the stands, before there was enough security around. Let's go to Jim Gray. Mike Breen
Uh, that's what triggered the big brawl in the stands. You saw what just triggered the entire incident. Artest, with a foul that he should've let go. He fouled Wallace from behind, but Wallace overreacted to that foul. Err—It became such a dangerous situation. There you see Stephen Jackson in there taking shot, at the stands. And granted, it's very difficult, when you're a player, and the fans come at you, either physically or verbally, but you have to restrain yourself. You just can't respond to it! There are so many bottles and cups thrown—there's Artest, after what Jim Gray reported. And he saw there was no security around at the time, and it was too late. Mike Breen
