That's what it felt like to me. Gaff looking good bought himself an extra shift to Cole's benefit.

Him interacting with the crowd did not deserve an ejection. I agree with Seth in the grand scheme of things. But last night was it’s own travesty. You don’t toss a guy for that. The ref had a personal vendetta with Hurley. And as fans, a school, and an athletic department we have to have our guys back in that instance. It was unjust and uncalled for. Making this about Hurley is taking away from what really happened.

God forbid we let anyone have any fun. If they're worried about safety then why doesn't the Big East chip in for added security?

A court storming is worth a heck of a lot more than $5k to a school in publicity, student and alumni goodwill, etc. Apparently the Big 12 and SEC realize this, and tried to size their court storming fines accordingly.

Can our charity be the Danny Hurley Ejection Defense Fund? If not, I’d go with the UConn Foundation.

UCONN fans should storm the court after every W here on out, home or away, just for the sake of a. mocking the big east rulebook and b. calling it a charitable donation. #Storm4Reform

BE court storming $5K fine to a charity of UConn's choice.
Fair enough, the UConn Foundation men's hoops fund.

Agree, Georgetown in 1990 was memorable to Chief.
Some of our wonderful Casual Fans just don’t get it. The Big East League and their refs are NOT happy with UConn and they think we are creating unnecessary risks for the officials and perhaps opposing teams. While a historic member of the Old Big East we are New members now.
We are like the new neighbors in the neighborhood who drive 60 MPH down the quiet street and coming home on a loud MC at midnight.
They are going to make our lives miserable and impact our ability to win - if we don’t appropriately address. The Bouknight fiasco, the double Hurjey T’s and the crowd fines are exhibits A-C.

Wait. Tyler Olander has two rings? Isn't that one more than Syracuse has in all of its fabled history?

Boss move.
Yup. Even the old peeps were clapping lightly. What a game. Crowd was best I’ve seen in many many years. That’s what XL can bring to the table. The refs u suck chant was pretty booming. Great atmosphere. This could be the game we talk about five years from now and point to as the turning point —the casuals could be on board now -LOL

Just trying to provide the BY Board with a non UConn perspective.

And what are casual fans supposed to do with this information? Besides ignore it, I mean. The refs were in no danger. At the half there was booing but no movement at all towards the refs. I was sittting right there. They walked off the court at the half the same way they have for 40 years. Every source I've seen is blaming the ref for running Hurley, even the non-bro sites. Two games ago everyone wants the games moved out of the XL, now it's too intimidating? This is just chief saying "hey look at me" again.

Court storming happens on a weekly basis in college basketball. Has a ref ever been in danger or hurt? Maybe, but it must've been before the invention of the internet. Little League - HS refs are way more likely to get assaulted by mad parents than any college ref.
