By the time you read this, Jerry Sloan may be suspended.
     
And rightfully so. The Jazz coach pushed a referee, and you can never, ever, ever do that.
     
Even if he deserves it.
     
Referees have to be off-limits, have to feel like the league is going to defend them from physical assault.
     
As it did recently when Blazers' goof Rasheed Wallace went after referee Tim Donaghy after a game at the Rose Garden. Even though Wallace just faked a punch, his language and overall demeanor more than justified a seven-game suspension.
     
However . . .
     
You knew that was coming, right?
