Adelaide United coach Guillermo Amor must wait to learn whether hell spend more time on the sidelines for his outburst during the Reds round-seven 3-1 A-League loss to Perth.Football Federation Australias independent disciplinary and ethics committee sat in Sydney on Monday night but reserved its decision on whether to further punish Amor, who last weekend served his mandatory one-match ban for unsporting conduct towards a match official after being banished to nib Stadiums stands.Whether or not the committee throws the book at the Barcelona legend hinges on the force with which it believes Amor touched fourth official Adam Fielding as he protested a controversial decision that resulted in the Glorys second goal.The incident followed referee Jarred Gilletts decision to award Andy Keoghs 68th-minute goal straight after Glory captain Rostyn Griffiths was perceived to have fouled Reds goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic.With no video evidence available, testimonies from each of the protagonists are key.Fielding submitted a report stating the feeling of the contact was not a tap, it was also not enough to push me over. It was sufficient to make me take a step forward.The usually mild-mannered Amor strongly denied pushing Fielding, arguing he merely touched him to gain his attention so he could alert Gillett to the apparent error.FFAs disciplinary council suggested Amor may have touched Fielding with more force than he intended while in a heightened emotional state.Amor, represented by Reds general manager of football Ante Kovacevic, told the committee he did not understand why hed been sent off and was confused as Fielding followed him to the bench to see through Gilletts expulsion.If I had understood at that point, or even after the game, that I had committed bad behaviour I would have gone straight to the referees changing rooms to say sorry or ask for an explanation, Amor said through a translator.Video footage directly after the incident showed the frustrated coach picking up his jacket and water bottle before wagging his finger at Fielding and saying words to the effect of you are not professional.Assistant coach Jacobo Ramallo said pushing a match official would be completely out of character for last seasons A-League coach of the year.Its difficult for me to imagine him doing this, even to think about it, Ramallo said.Being polite is easy when youre winning but he was losing every game (at the start of) last year and he was a gentleman.Amor said he will accept whatever decision is handed down in the next couple of days.Adelaide host Wellington on Sunday.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Utah Jazz coach Quin Snyder put it simply after his team lost to the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, Kawhi Leonard was really good.Leonard scored 29 points and grabbed 11 rebounds as the Spurs avenged their lone loss of the season with a 100-86 victory over the Jazz.The Spurs bounced back from a 15-point home loss to the Jazz on Tuesday after losing just one game in San Antonio all of last season.I expected for them to come out and try to get off to a great start and just sustain, and they did that, Jazz forward Joe Johnson said. After we kind of hit first, they withstood the first five minutes and made a run of their own. We just never really got back.(Leonard) is shooting the ball unbelievable off picks. Hes handling off pick-and-rolls and making plays. Hes been tough to guard.The Jazz jumped to a 10-2 lead in the first quarter and an unhappy Spurs coach Gregg Popovich called a timeout just minutes into the game. The Spurs responded with a 29-7 run and the Jazz never led again.Utah got within seven points in the third quarter, but Leonard responded with five quick points and the Jazz never got within single digits the rest of the game.Leonard continued his MVP-caliber season by shooting 9 for 18 from the field while LaMarcus Aldridge added 19 points and six rebounds.Rodney Hood led the Jazz with 18 points, but they shot just 37.5 percent.Its only two games, Popovich said about facing the Jazz twice. You win some, you lose some. Its not necessarily (that we) discovered the Holy Grail and instituted it tonight and won the game because of it. We played better.TIP-INSSpurs: G Tony Parker missed the game due to right knee soreness. He did not travel with the team. ... Patty Mills started at point guard and scored 16 points to go wwith three rebounds and three assists.dddddddddddd Patty is a great offensive player and he has been playing really well running the offense, Spurs center Pau Gasol said. Tony is a very important player for us, but if he is taking this time off its because he needs it.Jazz: Gordon Hayward went through a pregame workout with the fingers on his left hand taped up. The star forward is out indefinitely with a broken finger on his non-shooting hand. ... F Boris Diaw missed his second consecutive game with a right leg contusion.NO WARMUPSThe Jazz season has started with four playoff teams in their first six games, including the Spurs twice. They hit the road for five straight and seven of nine away from Salt Lake City.The biggest thing for me is, you hope for your team to continue to improve, Snyder said. That is the primary thing. If competition early can accelerate that process, that is a good thing. Theres been times where that competition early can knock you back. So it can go either way.QUOTABLEOur identity as a defensive team has to be something we hold on tighter to, Snyder said. You can call that lack of focus. Its more subtle in some ways. For me its a lot of little things we werent doing. They add up.We have to know if were not focused and were not ready to play defense, we wont. Its not habitual yet. Its not who we are yet and its who we need to become who we are.UP NEXTSpurs: Host the Los Angeles Clippers and point guard Chris Paul, who entered Friday with a league-high 3.25 steals per game, on Saturday.Jazz: Travel to face a New York Knicks team on Sunday, that improved to 2/3 after a win over the Bulls on Friday.
