Golden State Warriors center Erick Dampier, a former Mississippi State star, made headlines in the Bay Area when he blasted his coach after a loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday. The Sphinx-like Dampier made news as much for making a quoteworthy statement as for what he said. And the ex-Bulldog said plenty: Dampier criticized coach Eric Musselman's defensive strategy against Minnesota star Kevin Garnett (who scored 37 points), complained about frequently being benched during fourth quarters of games and ridiculed Musselman by referring to him as "Musselhead." Now if Dampier would just play like the All-Star so many predicted he would be coming out of college, people might pay more attention to what he says.
