CoachDubb, you're talking about the Maryville fans attacking the coach in a rude manner, but Coach Williams (CoachDubb?

?) was not exactly acting professional either. Taunting the students on the baseline and pointing at them when your team scores and clapping and staring them down when a timeout was called is not the best way to handle things. Obviously when the students get in your head and get you to point at them like you are a Blackburn fan instead of a coach, they are going to continue to get in your head...

I disagree with this, coach dubb does get into the games, and does like to see the crowd getting into it. However i was at that game and didnt notice him pointing out anyone, and hes not the easiest guy to miss (sorry if that is rude). just because he is clapping and looking around doesnt mean that he was clapping AT your student section. Also if you were on him the whole game yeah he may have looked at you when he called a timeout. but he does have the right to look where ever he wants. and im sure he didnt waste a timeout to sit and stare at you. if its the instance i recall he looked for maybe 2-3 seconds and went to the huddle, that is HARDLY staring down. why would ANY coach waste a timeout to just stare at fans. COME ON. but yeah i guess there are two sides to every story like hopefan said, and this is the other side of yours.

its kind of hard to act like you arent staring down the student section when there is no one behind the students on the baseline and then putting up the two fingers right at the students after a made bucket is pretty dead on.. you cant hide the fact that he did that...i never said he called a timeout to stare at the students but when a timeout was called, he would stare at the students while his girls were coming off the court.... as a i recall, it was obvious to the students that he was doing the two fingers for every bucket because later on in the game, the whole student section would point back at him after every maryville bucket

FORMERSLIACCOMMISH please check out the comment above mine. I KNEW they still did the stuff at the baseline and if i remember correctly you said they didnt, and i got told by like 10 different people you havebeen everywhere and you know what goes on.. Now i understand you have been everywhere and know what goes on BUT i knew this was still happening and you were convinced it wasnt.. BUT as you can CLEARLY see one of Maryville's fans from their fan section has proved that they still do.

GAME DAY GAME DAY WOO WOOO!!!
I can't wait to get to the game! It's a big buzz around campus and everyone is so stoked for it. I'm at work eagerly awaiting to get off here in 20min. Got to go lift, shower, then get ready for the Blackout!
Hope to see everyone there!
Go Beavers!!

oneanonly - the couches at the baseline were removed - I don't believe anyone said there is no one under the hoop - as I stated, the guys stand under the hoop, separated from the floor by folding chairs with a large mat or tarp draped over them. This barrier keeps fans properly away from the floor - it obviously does not prohibit them from yelling or gesturing, or pounding on the mats. Only once did I see a player come in contact with the barrier - it's that far back from the floor - I think everyone is making a mountain out of a molehill here - once again, if things went to far, there are formal methods to making sure it doesn't happen anymore - that's why the couches were removed.....

Like I thought. We will have rematches of tonights game for the tourney. Good luck to everone.

GO FONTBONNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just to clear things up...I love it when the fans are loud and supporting their teams. I could care less how loud you cheer or what is said as long as what is said is with in reason. You know that there were some things said by the ppl under the basket, and I looked over there a couple of time to try to see who was saying it. I am not going to repeat what was said, but I did want to win that game just to shut that person up. Good fan cheering is always good, but when you attack players and coaches personally, it's just not the right thing to do. I will be there on Thursday, and I sure that I am not going to waste a timeout, or lose any sleep over those fans. Those same fans were rude last year in the tournament, as they squatted over and shook their butts while we shot free throws. So do what you want, say what you want, just dont make it personal.
As for all the bad stuff said about Coach Ellis, in my opinion, he is a Class Act! His player play hard, and they display great sportsmanship. I wish them the best after Thursday...lol! I will not reply back to any more fan crap!

Great job this year coaches...

ahhhh J Doug, wish you would have been here - Loren left the Fontbonne gym in a blaze of glory!!!!!!!!!

Blackburn just looked overwhelmed last night. Hopefully the get their stuff figured out for thursday since they will be playing maryville once again. Great job by Blackburns student section last night. They were out in full force and the Blackout looked great.

Coach Will · February 25, 2009, 11:34:03 AM

The Blackburn Student Section was electric, loud and really into the game. Both Teams wanted to say thank you all so much for the support. We all were so excited. We were also excited to have Chevy back.....Great Job!

It's sad to see but Lindsey Crum of Eureka has played her last game. It's been fun to watch. She did well considerig a 2 year abscence from playing basketball of any kind.

Concerning the students on the baseline, are you talking about at Maryville or Blackburn?

juniormint · February 25, 2009, 01:21:12 PM

Nevermind, I saw the post.

Do Maryvilles students ever dress like hot dogs and other crazy suits anymore?
