Extremely happy with John Groce being named new Illini hoops
coach. A coach who wants an athletic team to get after em on D
and attack on offense with dribble or pass penetration and kick
outs for 3-pointers. How refreshing.

How does one pronounce his last name? "Gross" (like Grace but
with an O), or "Gro-chee" (as in rhymes with Jim Croce)?

Gross is how it is pronounced, watched his presser, more like
Self than Weber, that is for sure. I think we are going to
really like this guy.

Examining Fans’ Rights to Jeer at Games
By BILL PENNINGTON - New York Times - Published: March 28, 2012
At a North Carolina State men’s basketball game last month, the
former Wolfpack stars Tom Gugliotta and Chris Corchiani were
ejected from the arena — at the request of a referee — for
protesting the officials’ calls. Gugliotta and Corchiani were
seated behind the scorer’s table, and officials from both teams
and others seated nearby said neither one used vulgarity or
threatened the referees.
But in a game hosted by a public university, the episode raised
a rarely asked question: Is a fan’s protest — known in some
sports law circles as fan speech or cheering speech — a form of
expression protected by the First Amendment?
In other words, do fans have the right to bellow at referees all
game long, as long as they do not run on the court or menace the
officials? Even if the fan is seated in the front row and the
referee can hear every word?
The question is apparently still open to debate, despite more
than 150 years of American public sporting events. Legal experts
say few precedent-setting court rulings deny, interpret or
establish a fan’s right to rail at a referee. Hostile or
excessively disorderly fan behavior is not tolerated by security
officials at games, or for the most part by the court system,
because it is deemed dangerous or disruptive to the group. But
in the middle of a sporting event as fervent as the N.C.A.A.
tournament, with passionate crowds and high stakes, what exactly
defines disruptive?
“It isn’t yelling or screaming; that is part of the game,” said
Howard Wasserman, a law professor at Florida International
University who has been writing about fan behavior and the First
Amendment since 2001. “For better or worse, you’re allowed to go
to a sporting event and express yourself just as you’re allowed
to go to a political rally and say what you want.

Did not take Bruce Weber long to find another job, new head
coach at Kansas State.

Pretty sure Bill Self has not lost to Coach Cal yet. I give the
edge to Kansas.

Oh Please,
Sporting venues are not "public", they are private. You're free
speech rights stop at the stadium/field entrance. The Sports
themselves dictate the rules. Try yelling like those fans at
an event on the pro-golf tour whilst someone is in the process
of swinging. See how long you last.
