Crawford suspended for actions toward Duncan

Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) - NBA referee Joey Crawford was suspended indefinitely by commissioner David Stern on Tuesday for his conduct toward Tim Duncan, who contends the ref challenged him to a fight.

Crawford ejected Duncan from a game in Dallas on Sunday, calling a second technical foul on the San Antonio Spurs star while he was on the bench.

"He looked at me and said, 'Do you want to fight? Do you want to fight?"' Duncan said. "If he wants to fight, we can fight. I don't have any problem with him, but we can do it if he wants to. I have no reason why in the middle of a game he would yell at me, 'Do you want to fight?"'

Crawford's suspension will last at least through the NBA finals.

I think that, along with the suspension, Crawford should be investigated.  What was he trying to do?  Was he trying to provoke Duncan into some activity that would get Duncan suspended indefinitely?  I smell "Take" here.  And what's up with "T-ing Up" a player on the bench unless YOU ARE CERTAIN that such player is being abusive or disrespectful?  From all accounts Duncan was just laughing - although I can't figure out what he had to laugh about at the time.
