Ben Wallace spats with Bulls brass over headband
Ben Wallace was the premier free-agent acquisition this offseason, but the Bulls and their $60 million man are off to a rocky start.
Bulls coach Scott Skiles pulled Wallace only 2:02 after tip-off on Saturday against the New York Knicks because the center broke a team rule prohibiting the wearing of headbands.
A number of assistant coaches spoke with the player on the bench, but he waited until only 2:41 remained in the first quarter before removing the headband. Skiles put him back in the game, but Wallace put the headband back on before the beginning of the second half and was not allowed to start. He relented again midway through the quarter and was inserted in the game.
