Kaman was shocked by the incident and after it, said a suspension and fine would be an appropriate punishment. He was also surprised by the league's ruling. What the league basically said was that it was an unprecedented event, so they weren't sure how to handle it,'' Kaman said. ``I think that's kind of b.s.

Apparently with the Evans incident, the NBA's senior vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson could not determine the severity of Evans' action from video evidence.
