Entire Student Section Thrown Out Of Game ...

[FlasherZ]

The school's response is even worse... the tape shows obvious expletives and inappropriate, abusive gestures, and when publicly warned, the students doubled-down.

While we regret the role that our students played in this incident, we wish we would have had an opportunity to address the situation when called up to do so. We have no doubt that our students would have responded to the staff’s direction and been able to remain present to support their fellow student-athletes.

When they were warned against it, they IMMEDIATELY shouted out expletives, which is plainly visible on the video. The students flipped the bird and double-bird to officials, administrators, and game administration. There should be ZERO tolerance for this, and yet they stand behind their students and their poor sportsmanship.

Students shouldn't have even been able to climb into the stands behind the benches after the section was dispersed, they should have been forced to leave the gym. Granted the score was a blow-out, but I think the failure to leave the gym by their students should result in an investigation and sanctions against the school.

Their response and post on Facebook was unacceptable.
