I love seeing the quick apology. I will always be a fan of Devon's. We all make mistakes. It's how we learn from them and our actions from that point on that make us who we are!

This really bothers me. I am a huge fan of this young man. I hope he realizes from this what just a rash decision in a few seconds can cost you. It reminds me a lot of the qb jumping on the players ankle in football. Punishment will be dealt, not sure exactly what it will or should be. I hate to see a young mans future suffer big consequences from a bad decision in such a situation. As far as the rest of the situation it was one of those that happen many times. It was handled quickly and well. That gym is one where it could get out of hand quickly, not much space around the floor. Hopefully this can be put behind us and we can go on. We all have to remember these are kids that still need our guidance, support and teaching. They have to deal with the repercussions of their actions. Hopefully the lessons will be learned.

Yes I just saw that. No excuse to me for that action.

I will say this the Tiger player involved at the beginning of this is one of if not the least likely on the team to be involved in anything like this. All he does day in and day out is go in and play his game. It's rare you even see much emotion out of him. Now he did have a push in there at the beginning but I saw the pushing and shoving going on and I will bet there was even more that I could see and I was maybe 30 feet away.

Not making it about race at all just distinguishing between the two players could not remember that players number. No where have you seen me blame or state that it was because of race. So instead of trying to take it there you need to grow up!

I didn't notice the first game but knew he looked familiar tonight.

Haha no upset was happening. Tigers were pulling away. Now if one thing was right that I read and we were awarded the win because we were ahead when that game was stopped, it avoided a very touchy situation, of having to play a seeding game or not.

Was Jeffcoat the assistant there before taking over?

That's tough but I do believe this team is too deep. It would be fun to see.

I know there were a couple players still trying to get back out there because of people harassing their parents but they were held back. As far as more Tigers throwing punches after it started, you may be right especially since we had 14 players to around 10 for LCM.

Ok I was about as close to this incident as you anyone. Our player was posting up under the basket, the LCM defender was constantly pushing and shoving him. This happened for 2 possessions and I can say I didn't see it but was told that player put his knee up under ours while he was in the air trying to cause him to fall. Our player did react with a push to the LCM player in the face. At that point our layer had his back towards him. That player came back swinging punches at our player. At that point they ended up in the corner of the gym and the benches cleared. As far as the twitter war of words, I know one went on because I read about it on some posts this morning. Whether it was LCM players, fans or students I don't know. As far as how the game was going, LCM was putting up a fight but only playing 6 or 7 players. They were getting tired and the Tigers were starting to pull away. Would it have been a big blowout....we will never know. i liked TxHoops earlier post. What I hope my Tigers learn from this is that every team they face is going to have 2 things we need to be aware of and ready to deal with. 1. They are going to get frustrated with facing a team that pressures them as much as we do, and sooner or later are likely to react in a negative way. And 2.Teams are going to try to get us out of game any way they can. Head games , mouthing, on twitter before the game or pushing and shoving ny chance they get. Guys you have a bigger goal that is attainable but we have to keep it together to get there. I can't blame anyone for defending their family and I know you guys look at each other as family. But on that court you have to stay composed and keep your cool. Try not to react. Beat these teams on the court where it counts. Send them home with a loss and you come home with a smile. Now put this behind you, accept the consequences and strive even harder to attain your goals!

No actually it was a white player that swung at Jordan first.

This could have been pliers or just students.

No that was all in the sequence. Players as pushing And shoving Jordan for two possessions and I didn't see it but was told helifted his knee up under Jordan while he was in the air. That's when Jordan reacted and the player threw a punch.

Yes he has an a look injury from during bball. Not sure of football though.

What injury did he have in football??

Back early I. The season when WB dropped us, I asked the Coaches about a possible warm up of replacement. Was told of a replacement game or two that were being worked on but they never worked out. I was also told it was highly unlikely to have a warm up game due to the reasons listed here and the fact that everyone rolls right into the playoffs now with no one having buys the first round like district champs had a few years ago.

That's the truth and we have fallen victim of just this in the past.

And yet that's why Brady is one of the best ever....

Pound the Patriots!!

2 questions.... 1. How do you get off topic on a thread named "off topic" and 2. How do you stay on topic on a thread called "off topic"???

I said I wouldn't comment on that other thread anymore so I will put this here.... If we shoot the ball like we did last night on the wrong night in the playoffs we won't have to worry about any conversation about how good this team is or isn't.

I will be there Saturday for sure if we are in that championship game but don't think I am going to be able to get off Friday. Will miss being there for the whole tourney this year.

Are they playing football?
