About the Pistons/Pacers brawl:
Now, recently about the reinstatement of Joey Crawford:
He really likes to show off how much power he has, huh.
Q: Discuss how the decision came about to suspend Ron Artest for the season. Was it unanimous?
David Stern: It was unanimous (pause) 1-0.
Q: Can you discuss the reasons for the entire year...?
David Stern: I guess I would -- I don't mean to make light of it -- it's my decision and I decided it and I spent the weekend reviewing more angles and tapes and replays than I have, I think, in many years combined.
Now, recently about the reinstatement of Joey Crawford:
"Based on my meeting with Joey Crawford, his commitment to an ongoing counseling program, and a favorable professional evaluation that was performed at my direction, I am satisfied that Joey understands the standards of game management and professionalism the NBA expects from him and that he will be able to conduct himself in accordance with those standards," said Stern in a statement.
