Joakim Noah Told to Sit Down For One More Game by Fellow Players


Chicago Bulls rookie, who was suspended for an angry outburst against a coach late last week, had his suspension extended for one game when his fellow players voted to extend his one day suspension another day.

Asked about the decision of his fellow players, the 9th pick in the draft who starred at the University of Florida said:

"I mean I just have to accept it," Noah said. "What do you want me to say? I'm a rookie. It is what it is. I have to move on. There's nothing I can do about it.".

"Ask the players who made the decision; I don't know," Noah said. "Do I agree with it? That doesn't matter or make a difference. I respect my teammates and respect their opinions and stuff like that. I just have to deal with it and move on."

Ben Wallace, who called the meeting, explained:

"It's a situation we felt got out of hand," Wallace said. "Our big thing is regardless of what happened between a coach and a player, it should never get to the point where you don't respect a grown man. You have to always respect that fact."

Noah, who is averaging a disappointing 4 points and 3 rebounds per game, better learn that it isn't in his best interest to go on tirades of a coach that his fellow players respect.
