We’re known as a hard lot? So it that a good thing or a bad thing?
I’d say it’s not a postive comment.
[b][b]A Detroit moment:[/b] The Charlotte fans are known to be a hard lot. Halton Arena is boisterous and the fans are passionate about the 49ers. But they weren't too pleased with the officiating during the triple-overtime game.Charlotte got called for two technical fouls, one on coach Bobby Lutz for leaving the coaching box. (Lutz had a point that Alabama’s coaches, notably assistant Orlando Early, should have been tagged for the same thing. Early was the sixth man on the court at times). The other was on Withers for hanging on the rim too long.
The fans weren’t thrilled with a few calls late in the second overtime and then it got ugly. One fan hurled a box of Nerds. Yes, those pesky candy pieces that when they land on the court from the upper deck can be a menace for the cleanup crew. Lutz had to grab the microphone and ask the fans not to throw anything on the court or those fans would get tossed.[/b]
Early was on the court… OFTEN. But the refs choose not to call that; if a coach is to stay in the box, stay in the box or be called for it.
As for the person throwing an item on the court, I hope you are banned permanently from Halton Arena. The students had a good back and forth with Chuck Davis all game long. That’s fine, but leave it at that, no throwing things on the court.
