HOUSTON — Former Los
ugeles Lakers Coach Jerry West
i Btified Tuesday an error in judg-
0mes,lc sfnt by Houston Rockets’ captain
Indy Tomjanovich contributed to
'n l f ace ' crus ^’ n 8 punch Tom-
a *ly ^ovjch received from Kermit
undwoiti fashington during a December
nitedStat, ^
game.
nu unrvtn ^ es t testified at the federal court
he cribci ,^1 of a $4.4 million damage suit
”*• onijanovich, who missed the rest
Titlel; ^ t ij e 1977-78 season, and the
>at mosn j ous ton Rockets have filed against
in this ^ Lakers.
! cora hn!K Washington, expected to testify

tnustfolhi ^hed Tomjanovich because he
etivities \ti ^, u ght the Rockets’ captain was
onalacfoa uming to hit him. Tomjanovich has
nerallycts id he was rushing to break up the
;est agricik jht.
tion witin West said Tomjanovich made a
and dive-j
geared
ber prodae
“mistake” in rushing to intervene.
“If it were me, I would never
have done that. The size of these
people involved in basketball keeps
me away from fights,” West said.
“I can’t say what Tomjanovich’s
intent was in running down to the
fight,” West said, “but I can’t say his
intent was to hit Washington.”
West said the injury to Tom
janovich and one later in the season
to center Moses Malone undoubt
edly hurt the Rockets’ campaign
that year.
“Injuries decide the fate of many
clubs,” he said.
West said Kunnert started the
scuffle with Washington, who West
said was “a first-class fellow, an ex
tremely nice person, one of our
better-liked players.”
As the five-man, one-woman jury
watched the game film once more,
West testified, “It’s almost explicit
in this film that Kunnert elbowed
Washington in the face.
“It (Tomjanovich’s injury) was the
ugliest thing I’ve ever seen,” West
said. “People make mistakes and
sometimes these things happen.
There’s no way you can efifectively
control fighting in basketball.
“Fights are not pretty. I don’t like
them. But they happen.
Washington was suspended and
fined by NBA Commissioner Larry
O’Brien after the Dec. 9, 1977, in
cident in Los Angeles. He now plays
for the San Diego Clippers.
As part of a scheduUng accommo
dation, defense attorneys presented
part of their case, including West’s
testimony, out of turn, before the
plaintiffs had rested their case in
U.S. District Judge John Singleton’s
court.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the sec
ond defense witness of the day, tes
tified he did not consider Washing
ton a hostile player.
"No, I don't think so,” Jabbar
said. ‘T’ve never seen Kermit start a
fight. He’s an easy-going person.”
Jabbar said he yelled at Washing
ton to quit fighting when the brawl
started.
“I was yelling at Kermit to stop. I
told him to quit it,” he said. “I’ve
never seen a punch like the one that
he threw.”
Jabbar said he held on to Kunnert
to pull him away from Washington.
