Looking back, Kelly Oubre had a similar outburst at the end of a game last March. Pointed at each ref and said you a b----, you a b---- you a b---- as the game ended. Nick Nurse had stormed the court as well. I think Oubre only got fined too. But the game was over, Fred's game was still going. And at first it looked like he poked one ref in the forehead, that's why some thought suspension. It raises an interesting point though, the only reason he didn't contact the ref is because the ref turned his head away. Is that really enough to say, well he didn't touch him, no suspension? What if a player threw a punch but the ref ducked under it? No harm no foul?
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.
