State coach Lowe, also was cited for watering his lawn on the wrong day of the week.<BR/><BR/>Dozens of State fans accused The News & Observer of singling out Lowe unfairly when it reported Wednesday that he was one of 272 water customers to be issued a warning during the first two weeks of the new rules. His name surfaced as that of the only public figure when the paper matched 30 to 40 addresses to names and phone numbers. Ford's was not among those, but water officials said Friday he also was cited. Ford is now on the coaching staff of the Charlotte Bobcats.<BR/><BR/>Both of the basketball luminaries were given first-time warnings July 14 for violating the restrictions that limit watering by address. Odd numbers get Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday; even numbers get Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. Both men live at even-numbered addresses.<BR/><BR/>When it comes to basketball, off the court, city inspectors apparently aren't choosing sides.Ken Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196005991325229413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340889888833193780.post-50422701383447966032007-07-19T14:50:00.000-05:002007-07-19T14:50:00.000-05:00I'm just going to start spray painting I think.I'm just going to start spray painting I think.Ken Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13196005991325229413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340889888833193780.post-89606971023650986122007-07-19T12:56:00.000-05:002007-07-19T12:56:00.000-05:00Too funny...
