Why is it odd???
Did you know:
Two years later, the Bulls began their run of six championships in eight seasons. Reinsdorf, according to a source, sent Collins championship rings to acknowledge his work in getting the Bulls close.

Bowie is most remembered for his triple-double, in which he had 20 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists. In the NBA, a triple-double is a rare accomplishment, and even more so for a reserve. In a game versus the Detroit Pistons, with the Magic up big, Bowie realized that he needed a rebound and an assist for the feat. He knew that as a bench player, there probably wouldn't be another opportunity. There were only about four seconds left in the game, and after rebounding a Detroit miss, Bowie immediately called timeout, much to the chagrin of coach Brian Hill. Hill walked away from the huddle in disgust, and let Bowie dictate the play to his teammates. Bowie proceeded to set up a play so that he can catch the inbounds pass, and pass it to a player in a position for the shot.
On the other side, Detroit Pistons coach Doug Collins was also animated, and sensing his opponents' apparent lack of class, decided to pull his players from the game. Since he could not actually bench the players, he ordered them to stand underneath the basket closest to the visitor's locker room. As Collins and his players looked on, Bowie took the inbounds pass, bounced it to a wide open David Vaughn near the basket, and he slammed it home for the tenth assist, and the triple-double. After the dunk, Bowie raced to the opposite end of the floor to apologize to Collins, but he was incredibly irate and wouldn't have any of it, and the Pistons rushed to the locker room.
During the post-game press conference, Brian Hill called the whole incident embarrassing and shameful. Anthony, on the other hand, was excited about the accomplishment.
- From Wikipedia
Doug Collins will not become the next coach of the Chicago Bulls after a mutual agreement with team owner Jerry Reinsdorf, according to ESPN.com.
"I just knew over the last few days that Jerry was really struggling over whether or not to do this, and I didn't want Jerry to have those struggles," Collins told the Chicago Tribune. "I love him. And I didn't want him feeling that kind of angst."
"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

The Pistons were spitting nails and so was Brian Hill. Most of the magic players seemed pretty embarrassed about it but I'm not certain of that. I just remember watching the game on TV and hearing good old Chip Carey and The Goose cover it. They were pretty surprised by the whole deal and didn't really know what to say. It was hilarious.

Thanks for answering my question.
I don't understand why David Vaughn took the shot. He was just as guilty it sounds like.
I guess Bowie was desperate for a triple-double and Vaughn a picture of a dunk for a basketball card.
