Ron Artest says he was going out of his mind watching his teammates scrimmage, so he asked Coach Theus if he could referee. He has reportedly even T-ed up Justin Williams for hanging on the rim after a dunk. Sam Amick of the Sacramento Bee has the story: "Ron Artest doesn't really want to be an official, even if the injured Kings small forward has been the one making calls during scrimmages and taking verbal abuse at practices recently. '(His teammates) called me Tim Donaghy,' Artest said, referring to the disgraced former official. 'That was brutal. But you've got to respect the referees.'"
