Sydney • Former University of Utah and NBA player Andrew Bogut has a message for his new league back in his home country: Butt out of timeouts if you don’t like the language being spoken. The National Basketball League isn’t listening.
Bogut, playing for the Sydney Kings in the NBL, played nearly 700 games in the NBA and was a first-round pick by the Milwaukee Bucks in 2005.
The 33-year-old center reacted on Twitter Wednesday when reports emerged that the Australian league plans to crack down on swearing during televised timeouts. The league broadcasters were given permission to film the team talks at the start of this season, which began in October.
