Here is a clip from an article from the USA Today with a reference from the TSU coach. It appears as though he has the proper perspective.... and he was the losing coach.
Tennessee State coach Hosea Lewis said "Both teams just got excited (and came off the bench), and I am very unhappy with the way it was handled. I am disappointed in the outcome, because we have intelligent players and young men at TSU."
As a side note....I believe TSU is the school where Nolan Richardson's (Former Arkansas Coach)son was the coach. Nolan Richardson Jr. has been suspended (or terminated- don't know the outcome) for alledgedly carrying a gun into the gym and threatening Hosea (then the asst. coach)late one night after the two had had a disagreement over a practice issue. TSU and its athlectic director sure have had its challenges in the basketball dept this year and sure did not need this....!!!!
