Unsportsmanlike conduct, just about everybody...
Here are at least a couple recent examples:
- Tuskegee University coach Benjy Taylor was arrested on Saturday, and put in handcuffs on the court for an altercation with a police officer after a rivalry game at Morehouse.
Taylor was objecting to the presence of several Morehouse football players in the handshake line after Morehouse won a narrow victory over Tuskegee. Taylor had reported several obscenities being fired from the football players at his team, and felt a confrontation would occur if the security breach was not rectified.
As seen from this HBCU sports video, it was not rectified...
A lawsuit is planned, no further comment at this time. Unless there's more video than that shows which indicates otherwise, appears to me the Morehouse cops were WELL out of line!We have new new footage and insight from Tuskegee 👀: https://t.co/eDyEz8cuSK pic.twitter.com/WdcYkcaCpE

- Here's a couple of recent brawls on the court to indicate more of the shit hitting the fan...
12 players were suspended, 8 for Aquinas. One of them got a six-game suspension for his role in the event.
After a flagrant foul, the officials confer, the player is correctly ejected. Obviously, the coach is unhappy with probably the call, but (given the game situation and things appearing to be about to get out of hand) correctly pulls his team from the floor, forfeiting the game. Three adults from the school which forfeited charge the floor and the winning team. One of the forfeited players attempts to intervene and is misinterpreted as trying to get involved, and it is ON. The ejected player got the standard one-game suspension, there is rumor (but I'm not finding it) that the forfeiting coach was fired.
