How many similar alteractions have occurred in the last decade? 20 yrs?

I have no idea. What is your point? It must be something since someone likes your post.

How about Stefanie Dolson in the Louisville game? Isn't much difference in my opinion. Two players got physically tangled up and took exception. Only difference is the UConn players that were on the bench stayed there. You can bet that most UConn players would react to having their arm pulled like Sims did to Stricklen as evidenced by Dolson's reaction to having her arm pulled. There was nothing unusual about what happened outside of the players running onto the court and the importance of the game. It certainly wasn't a fight.

Sims pulled her arm? She pushed it off of her stomach. And I didn't see anyone stand over Dolson like Stricklen did to Sims.

Reminded me of this.

No, Suzy, you and Kait are not the only two. As UconnChapette mentioned earlier, I too should inform my mother how unjust and mistaken she was whenever she would send me and my sister to our rooms for "merely" mouthing and shoving each other.

This whole thing sort of reminds me of all those Business Law II cases I had to endure in college, when so many decisions were appealed due, often times, to semantics and different interpretations of the facts. I would hate to see any player being punished with a suspension at this stage of the tournament but, for me, what I witnessed last night was a "fight". Plain and simple.

I will, however, not judge others for viewing it as a "heat of the moment" or "too much emotion" event. Baring the occasional ulterior motive, I take most posts on this tread as a matter of different opinions and perspectives.

You suggest that Tennessee is prone to these problems (and UConn isn't) ... and this is based on 1 incident in 20-30 years?

I don't recall seeing UConn in these type if situations. But I have seen many many staredowns from Tennessee and over the top emotions. In my opinion, the over the top emotions lead to the staredowns. This was a biproduct of those emotions.

With the end result being 1 incident in 600+ games. Clearly a program out of control.

How many off-court fights have there been? UConn has one. Does that mean UConn recruits players with over-the-top emotions?

UConn has an off-court fight?

I'm done. You are just arguing to argue. Take a chill pill.

Yes, Barb Turner was involved in one.

I'm not the one who denigrated a program over ONE incident in 30 years.

I denigrated a program? Care to show me how I did that?

I've seen flying elbows, smack talking, and over the top emotions showing up the other team ALL year. I guess you don't see many UT games.
 
Sims first pulled on Stricklen's arm and then shoved it away. And we are making a big deal out of standing over her? Was Stricklen supposed to lie down next to her and then complain to Sims? Stricklen wasn't the only guilty party in this no matter how much more fun it is to blame it on Tennessee's culture. These things happen with every team in the country including UConn. UConn has emotional players to like with Dolson losing her cool against Louisville and then Doty going and sticking her hand up to that player's face when she shouldn't have. There was nothing that special about last night's incident outside of the stage it occurred and our feelings toward the parties involved.

I'd appreciate it if you don't tell me why I feel like I do about this.
