Markelle [Fultz] was in there trying to help Moe Wagner out, so it was my responsibility to get our players away from the problem. It was not me trying to be restrained, I was trying to make sure our players were taken care of.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dwane Cassiy, head coach of the Pistons, spoke out about the fight following the game. He said that he was unhappy with the behavior of the players.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was upset because my understanding of the rule is the fact that when you leave your bench to go get in the altercation, your are escalating it,\u201d Casey stated. \u201cMy thing is the words being said by their players and coaches that were not de-escalating the situation and the official, to his credit, he said he did not hear it. Okay, I understand that, but for them not to have anyone ejected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI got to go back and get an explanation because my understanding of the rule is that if you leave the bench, and you go down and get involved, that\u2019s how bad things start, really bad things. I didn\u2019t feel like they were de-escalating the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">After his Pistons win a huge bounce-back victory, coach Dwane Cassy speaks to us.
