No, you didn't. That was directed towards the original quote from the blog. The quote implies that because it was as formal as Sheed had ever been seen he should have been on the bench.

It basically implies that because it was Sheed-formal and it wasn't jeans nor a sweatsuit it was petty of the NBA to kick him off the bench. In other words, they should have left him there if they weren't so anal.
I'm not debating my stance towards the rule, nor do I necessarily agree he should have been kicked off the bench for wearing no coat. But as long as it's consistent I won't complain. What I will complain about is how it happened twice to Sheed. As a mentioned in my previous post, why didn't Sheed, Pistons management or his agent read the rules and correct the situation? If he is wanted on the bench, you'd think at the very least they would have known the second time round.
