Green Bay Packer coach Dan Devine is upset with New York Post writer Paul Zimmerman, who published a column about the fines dished out to our Packer heroes. Devine said Zimmerman wrote about the fines and he expects a retraction. Zimmerman wrote that some players told him that Devine levied several large fines this past season, one amounting to $5,000 for breaking curfew.

Devine, and backed up bv Terry Bledsoe of management council, claims the Packer fines totaled only $1,250 and $200 of that was rescinded. Chicago Bulls coach. Dick Motta, says he was misquoted concerning the play of some teams in hope they could obtain the draft rights to UCLA's Bill Walton. I didn't say that some teams would like to finish last so they could draft Walton. says Motto.

Detroit Piston coach Ray Scott says he is a victim of a bad rap about saying the NBA was penny-wise and dollar- foolish when it comes to hiring officials. What does all this mean? It means that people are communicating. but sometimes they don't communicate very well. Unfortunately, it also means that some of our sports writing fraternity are looking for the sensational story rather than printing just the facts. It is easy to take a number of quotes and just use the ones that will make the story sound better but not necessarily give the real meaning.

It also means that some of our coaches and players say one thing to one person and another thing to someone else. They may say what they really mean in the heat of battle, but realize later that they are in trouble for saying it and so deny or say they were misquoted.
