Looked like a technical foul yes. Was it no. See Bruce was just signaling for the secret play. Its so secret that it has its own unique signal for it. Its just that some people in the basketball world thought he was being dangerous. nope. Just letting the guys know about the secret play. You know, if youre not to help discussions on this board you really shouldnt come. Since you have nothing good to say ever, you should not be on this board. Since our moderaters are nice and they let you stay anyways lets make a bet. I bet you that UIC will lose to UWM on our first meeting. If I am correct which I am , you can never post anything on the board untill your team wins again. Now if you think you are so high and mighty why dont you take that bet. 1. so hitting a cup full of water so that it spills all over the court is a so-called "secret signal for a play"? um, can someone tell me where this guy is getting this from? thats like me saying "I constantly double-dribble and travel with the ball, but wait, thats not a turnover! Thats a signal to my team to get ready for a play!" 2. your intelligence is speaking for you, and unfortunately for you, it's making your school look bad. What does good sportsmanship have ANYTHING to do with winning games? I simply stated facts that Bruce did something that was clearly unsportsmanlike, and you retort back saying "win a game then come back talking"? someone please stick a sock in this guy's mouth. if you have intelligent arguments, please provide them, if not, typing BS doesn't cut it. And for the record, you're wrong about me "hav[ing] nothing good to say ever" because I've said lots of good things about Ed and Dylan, and that this year's preseason player of the year was really a tossup between Ed and Ced, and Ced just happened to win... Please think before you speak (or type, in this case).

You've never said a good thing about Bruce Pearl. All he's done is lead UWM to a conference best 37-11 over the last three years. So, stick a sock in your own mouth. We're sick of you and your holier than thou coaching act. Be glad you have Jimmy, we're glad to have Bruce.

All I have to say for game-watching at the Pavilion: watch your backside.

one other thing with the Pavillion is that you gotta watch out for those rowdy 8 years old that they bus in to try and fill up all those empty seats that they have there. last year those kids decided it would be cool to throw snow-balls at the bus we took down there and countless number of people told us to "step yo game up" and other mindless things of that nature, but yet are the ones that the people from UIC complain about us having bad fans. mmmmmmm?? one other thing just how does mayur up there feel that Ced (who is a great palyer don't get me wrong) is somehow a better than McCants? can someone explain this to me? I am lost, every publication that i have read this off-season is picking Ed to win the player of the year award but yet to her he just HAPPENED to not win, WTF? but then again what do i expect, same old crap just a different day i guess.

Yea watch your back last year i had UWM fans coming down into my section pulling my sister down because she was chearing. What a joke.
Horizon league selected Banks as their POTY so im not sure what other papers you are reading DP.
Oh and i almost forgot I had some old guy with no teeth flicking me off at the end of the game, I know where most of you get your actions from. However there are good UWM fans, after the HLC game i believe i meet UWM freak and some others, so this is not to all of you.

UIC mayur should not be talking about intelligence. I quote: "your intelligence is speaking for you, and unfortunately for you....." If we are going to make a point about intelligence, you would understand that you did not need to write: unfortunately for you. It is not good grammar repeating yourself in the same sentence. Also, "retort back" is redundant. Like the term "falling down." Any intelligent person would know these things. sorry to get off on a tangent that has nothing to do with basketball.

My humble preseason predictions...
HL
1. UWM (hard to disagree with the people that know most about the conference - the coaches themselves) 2. UIC (sorry mayur) 3. Wright State (a much improved team - could be dangerous) 4. Detroit (once they get Cotton, will be dangerous - too athletic for GB) 5. UWGB (shut up Tod) 6. Butler (could be a while before they see the top again) 7. Loyola (by default given who's left) 8. Cleveland State 9. Youngstown State (why are they in our conference?)
POY 1. Ced Banks (again, it's tough to disagree with the coaches) 2. Ed (sorry, everyone)
If the HL Championship game is at the Cell, there's NO WAY we lose.
UWM's overall season record 19-8 (hard to win 20 with that non-conf schedule)
UWM in the HL 12-4
I know some of this is stating the obvious. Oh well.

Fine, let's talk about sportsmanship. At last year's game at the Pavilion, there was an unruly UIC fan on the baseline who was up in our players' faces, taunting them and cussing them out When I told an usher of this at halftime, she simply told me that he was doing that because we were cheering against his team. That all seems quite sane to me, right?

thats very true, but all i got to say is that don't even try to reason with those from UIC about that game last year, there are so far gone from reality about it , its borderline crazy. Yes Bruce got ejected, yes there was banter back and forth from our fans and theirs, but the thing about it is that a lot of the stuff has been extremely blown out of proportion, but like I said no one from UIC wants to reason anything about it, the same talk was beaten over and over after the game last year and i don't really see any reason for it to start again, because neither we or they are going to come out with a victory on it. There are moments from that game that i am sure each side of fans would have rather not have had happen but its over and done with now so not much you can do about it.
Oh well, on to other things, lets go Panthers lets show A&M who the real Panthers are!

lol, all of you are so pathetic.
there's no way you can challenge the integrity and sportsmanship of FANS - thats like expecting the whole damn city of Chicago to be perfectly just and fair. if you haven't seen reality, the world is far from a utopia like that!!
please don't sway off the original topic to which I replied and started this discussion: sportsmanship of coaches.
you people irritate very much by not only making unintelligible comments (i.e. "beat us before saying more", talking about conditions at the pavilion, and whatever else you may have brought up). i hope you bring yourselves down to the pavilion in numbers much greater than last year to see your team lose once again!
it's really interesting to see all of you so (over)confident with your team. i'm not saying that you won't contend for the HL title (and maybe even win it), i'm saying that after getting beat both in chicago at a time when you were undefeated in the HL, AND at the Cell with 10,000+ fans in our faces, you still have the nerve to say stuff like "beat us first then you have bragging rights" and do nothing but complain.
whatever...the season is getting started and the results of games will speak in our stead! this is my last comment...i'll shut up now.

Please think before you speak (or type, in this case). 1. Off your one. Can someone buy this guy a clue. It was a joke. I was just trying to have a little fun. You know come up with something good out of an undesirable situation. Youre calling me dumb, you took that serious. And then said i had to check my facts, get a job man. 2. i never said that the only way you could talk on this board was if your team won a game. and youre calling me dumb. I just dont believe the things you write are acceptable for this board. This way i could get rid of you. Youre like a fly on the wall, you sit out of atttention, never saying or responding coherently, yet buzzing in and out with nothing good to say. Off , you saying i have bad arguments Ive been looking in my old post and i still dont see an argument. It was a bet. Get those two things straightened out. If you want to enter a debate, i will crush you. now for a little education. An argument can be defined as A discussion in which A set of statements in which one follows logically as a conclusion from the others. Let see. My first part about the secret play was a joke. More like satire or sarcasim. That is definetly not a discussion in which A set of statements in which one follows logically as a conclusion from the others. The second part was a wager. A wager which A) estbalishes that UWM will beat UIC and B) You can not type on this board again. Nope that is definetly not a discussion in which A set of statements in which one follows logically as a conclusion from the others And that stuff about UWM beating UIC is not BS. 3. So youve said nice things about McCants and Page. If you are calling my guys pathetic for what they are saying, you are definetly qualifying for your own critism. What you said, still does not forgive the moronic trash talk about bruce you originally posted. Take your own advice. More importantly, stop thinking you have the best take on communicative knoledge of ethics and intelligence. or aka discourse. Believe me, you are not an expert, and you are in no position to put anyone down. Your discourse about how people should think and talk is mere cannon fodder in which you yourself do not prove you think enough before you talk. For example, if you were to think before you talked, you would of realized that the secret play was a joke. However, you thought the secret play was real or that i was lying. Which means you obviously thought about that before you talked (im giving you the benefit of the doubt) and then you came at me with that crap about that statement not being true. WHICH MEANS! a. you thought about it, typed and you still got it wrong. b. you might want to think a little longer than most of us before you start posting. c. makes you a hypocrit, bc you thought about it but you still got it wrong. d. proves to me, that you are really someone who got into college and now likes to stoke their own mental ego by trying to make other people feel dumb. You should put the metaphorical sock in your mouth and shut up. 4. Your little blip about talking before thinking. a. You didnt even know what i was talking about. You missed the the joke. Theres nothing more unintelligent than missing a joke and then coming back with what you said. b. You have clearly proven that you do not meet your own standards of intelligence. See above. Thank you and Good Night.

That all seems quite sane to me, right? Hi I guess you would be talking about me since I am down by the baseline. While I will admit I do taunt the coaches and players, I however do not cuss at them. I was told by one member of the horizon league that first names and swearing were not allowed. So before you run to ask for help you should understand that we are following the rules. It’s just like you guys doing your chants about rapist. We keep it clean since we have families around us. DP- I do agree with you, there is not going to be a common ground on the events of that night or any other. But I think it’s a sad that people feel that their lives are threaten out in Chicago. If you feel that way then don’t come, going to the Cell has never been a problem for me, even though your AD told me I would be banned for there two years ago. GO UIC

lol dunzz, this argument is getting nowhere.
i didn't pick up on the joke you made because I was being serious, and your joke as the response to my argument of why bruce acted the way he did at the Pavilion does not suffice at all in justifying his action.
which then brings me to the final conclusion that bruce did not have good sportsmanship AT THAT GAME. i am not challenging his integrity or ethics as a whole person, I am just saying that he did not exhibit a "good guy" personality in that game.
all of your arguments are completely unsubstantiated because you are, like any loyal fan, simply defending your team, your coach, your fellow fans, and your school.
i completely understand that because I am not ignorant and like to see all sides of any single entity. i also respect you for having such allegiance.
this discussion is now over and i wont be posting on this topic anymore. the season will speak for both our sides as who ends up winning the horizon league is up for grabs.
btw, nice blowout win yesterday.
