He's lucky the Hawai'i players didn't knock him out cold right where he stood.

And he went back to his seat. No one grabbed him or asked him to be removed. I cannot think of many places at that level where that would be OK. He might have gotten across the floor, but he would not have gotten off the floor without someone in his face or having him on the floor.

Peace

I went to another school in the Big West and worked quite a few of their basketball games in a marketing capacity. At these "smaller" schools, security seems to be more lax in being proactive and the numbers they have available. I can't recall seeing campus police at many if any of our basketball games and the majority of the event workers were usually other students.

There have been a few incidents lately at these smaller D1 schools that suggests that not only is this standard practice, but it needs to change and quickly.

As far as I can see in the video, there were no fouls. Contact, yes, but not fouls. The defender jumped vertically and only hit the ball with his hands AFAICT.

T earned (even if there should have been a foul).

Fan was taken care of, just not shown in that video. A lot of schools just don't have regular issues with fans and don't really need 100 security personnel around the court. This is probably one of them. Some areas just need the cops/security around because they have regular issues.
