Lucious' technical

[statefan]

I couldn't see what justified the "T". Could someone post an explanation?

[McFan]

Possible taunting. After the hard foul, he gave the guy a good look. Didn't see him or hear him say anything. Tough call but given the hardness of the hit the official didn't seem to want anything to get more heated.

[B9j2j6s]

he used some words that included a word that starts with f and ryhms with duck

[UAalum72]

Any idea what was being thrown at or said to the BU bench to cause the warnings? I'd guess it's what happens when you have spectators who only go to one game a year.

[B9j2j6s]

It was a bottle cap

Levi had to sit a game last season for being assessed a technical. What do you think Brown will do with Lu now? Every game is critical the rest of the season.

[B9j2j6s]

Well if thats the case shouldn't Brent have been suspended for his T this year?

 

I don't think Jordan will, but hey you never know.

Technicals are Technicals are Technicals.......

 

Each Technical is different and each is judged on their own merit and the past transgressions of the person T'd.

 

What ever transpired will be judged by the coaching staff. In this case with Lu who is a pretty calm player with no real track record of being out of control I'm sure what ever happened is over and there will very little said about it.

 

Please remember Levi had several transgressions before he was sat for a game.

 

And while it seemed Coach Brown was upset by the technical, he didn't overreact towards Lu.

B9j2j6s and Patch,

 

Good points by each of you. Hope all the guys can keep in control for the next few games. We are coming down a very critical stretch of games.

There was more to Levi's suspension that just the tech at Lehigh. There was some exchange with the Lehigh student section if I recall. I can't see Lu getting suspended for what happened last night.

 

As for the bottle caps or whatever was being thrown at the BU bench. I'm not sure what happened but I was sorry to see it happen to Wolfe who seems like a classy coach. A very small percentage of the students in attendance making everyone look bad. I thought it was a nice move on Brown's part to address the crowd over the PA system.

I thought it was unbeleivable that I was seeing the Coach address the crowd, telling them to act properly. I never imagined a situation like that at UA.

 

Usually its very calm at the RACC with 1500-2000 fans.

 

As for Coch Wolfe, I think Coach Brown was somewhat embarrassed that stuff was being thrown at the BU bench. In all I've read and heard Coach Brown has tremendous respect for Coach Wolfe and the BU Program .

 

The Wave was great too!!!!!

Obviously a great night for the program. Student attendance and energy made for a "big time" college hoop atmosphere. Lucious was great out of the box, Jamar had a good second half, and Siggers made some big time shots when things were starting to get shaky.

My only complaint was a certain negativism from student sections even when we were playing well. Besides the bottle cap incident (which was overblown to begin with) there were too many "Boston Sucks" and "F.U. B.U." chants which, in my view, were unimaginative and unnecessary. Those kind of negative chants usually come from a school with a "chip on its shoulder', or an inferiority complex.

We are the team to beat in the AE. Fans should be loud and energetic, but not worry too much about cursing out the visiting team. I doubt Duke fans ever chant "Clemson Sucks" or "UVa Sucks".

[WH96]

I thought they were saying "sucks to BU", not FU BU....am I wrong on this?

You're correct there. But I think just about anywhere you go, you're going to hear "(Name of Opponent) Sucks." It requires little thoughts while you're watching the game and it for everyone on the other team. Plus, no one in thecrowd isn't going to not understand it or screw it up...especially when you have so many "new" students fans at a game like that one.

some people tried to start FU BU, but it didn't really catch on. I thought Sucks to B-U was pretty good. I also liked the Who's Your Daddy chant.
