Rod Sellers Sighting

On the Twitter here in action (no still photo...)

The video is so much more benign than the still.

If I remember right Sellers would not be suspended until the following season's NCAA tournament. NCAA screwing UConn goes back decades...

Can someone please put Emmert's face on Leatner's body? It would make me feel a little bit better.

The funny thing is off the court Rod is the nicest guy on Earth. Goes to show just how much everyone hated Laettner.

A+. Looks so perfect we might get charged with a secondary violation for it.

Hurley’s face in that picture gets me every time.

I went back and confirmed that indeed Sellers was suspended the following tournament:
"Laettner was in the pile, and Sellers elbowed him in the face and pushed his head to the floor. No foul was called, but a year later Sellers was suspended for the first tournament game by the NCAA. He wrote a letter of apology to Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and at a pre-draft workout, apologized to Laettner, who accepted it, and they shook hands."
WTF?!? I could see being suspended the following season but why wait until the tournament? What if they didn't make it?
Yes, I'm getting mad online about something that happened 27 years ago.

Well that and the fact that Laettner had previously stomped on Sellers chest. That bothers some people.

I wasn't mad until you said it was 27 years ago and reminded me how fricken old I am. That seems like it happened about 2 years ago.

Lol, literally broke into applause and loud laughter, no doubt making the rest of the office uncomfortable.

Dibs on stealing this for an avatar!

@Dove .... i think that twitter gif deserves Biff's follow up.

I know I am a bad person for saying this, but that is one of my favorite UConn basketball moments ever. Makes me chuckle every time.

You know Leattner said or did something nasty (big surprise!!) for Rod to do that
To this day Rod won't say what it was but I thought it was BS that he apologized and CL didn't for stomping on Rod's chest
CL is my most hated person in all sports - Grayson Allen is a close second - both play for that team coached by the poster child himself - Mr please NCAA erase those losses when I was in rehab for my back problems

3 of us drove to Detroit for the sweet 16 game at the thole Silverdome.
Remember we met Scotty Burrel’s mom at the pre game shindig at the team hotel. She said she had a bad feeling about the game. Proved prophetic as we were drubbed. I think they played St John’s for the elite 8. Did not want to wait around 2 days for that.

They were already uncomfortable. Don't sell yourself short.

Nonsense. You are not a bad person. America loves to hate Chrissy.

Hate gives my life purpose and meaning.

I’d think much less of you if this wasn’t one of your favorite moments in uconn basketball.

Yeah pretty much should have put an "again" at the end of that sentence.

That's correct. Unprecedented and probably never happened again. They had to punish UConn the following year because we lost that game where Sellers pushed Laettner's head into the floor so they couldn't suspend him for the next game that year. What a joke.
