In tonights NJ-Toronto game, Vince Carter was poked in the eye accidently by anthony parker and fell to the floor. In order to stop the clock so they could protect Vince, the Nets commited a touch foul. During the time out, Sam Mitchell the raptors head coach, apparently instructed his players to return the foul to the Nets, because on the next play the raptors committed a touch foul intentionally. Im pretty sure Mitchell felt it was wrong that the raptors scored on two foul shots just because the nets wanted to protect and injured player, and felt it was right to return the favor....Does anybody else think its nice to see a touch of Class in todays classless game??

I didn't see that either, but as a long time Timberwolves fan, I saw a lot of Sam Mitchell. He is/ was always one of the classiest dudes I have seen in the game. I really wish timing of coaching moves would have been different and he would have ended up coaching my Wolvies!

well they were down by double digits and i doubt they would do that is the game was close.
But anyway it was nice of Sm Mitchell to delay it more to give vince more time to recover from the unintentional eye poking.

I did not see it but that is a Class act. There are too many negatives in sports these days.

Aww... That was nice. That was definitely a classy move. Rare nowadays. One of those things that should be seen more often
