It stemmed from an incident in a game played last Saturday. From AP-
Drca suspends every bit of the suspension. That kind of behavior he portrayed on Saturday doesn't belong on a basketball court.
SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah has suspended guard Luka Drca for two games for an intentional foul committed in a loss to No. 4 Oklahoma.Drca tripped Blake Griffin as the Sooners were on a fast break with a 14-point lead early in the second half of Saturday's game. Oklahoma's Willie Warren was called for a technical for jawing with Drca, who was whistled for an intentional foul.
Utah coach Jim Boylen said in a release Monday that he was suspending Drca for two games.
Boylen says he wasn't required to suspend Drca, but felt the trip was unacceptable behavior. The junior from Serbia will sit out Saturday's home game against Weber State and the Utes' road game against Utah State next Monday.

Hey Bill, you might want to check out your final sentence. I think you may want to rework that just a tad.
Just hoping to help a little here.

I agree it doesn't belong on the court, but it seems as if its almost a regular thing these days.
