We won't even talk about his antics so far during the second round of the playoffs this year (kicking at Stoudamire's feet, kneeing Nash in the groin).
When it happens once or maybe twice in one season, it can be excusable. All of these incidents happened THIS SEASON! Time and again throughout his career, Bowen is just like a student I used to have in class. He gets something started and then backs off at just the right time to get someone else in trouble.
