Pat Pownall Quotes
«Anytime a coach is talking to an official, (fans) think it's always bad. He just wants to know what you saw. It doesn't bother me a bit when a coach is up questioning you. But every time down the floor, that gets to be old. You have to pick your fights.»

If you read more into it than what it is, that's the problem.»
