Frankly, Dayton got their rear ends spanked and Grant was looking for anythign going forward.  He even pulled all his scholarship players at the end lest the big bad Billies hurt a punk or two.  And it wasn't even it, it was Jett.  What a joke.  Smith crying that the fans wouldn't give him the ball.  Elvis jawing it up.  There should be league fines for that entire team leaving their bench for nothing.

Yup. It was just a crafty display of gamesmanship/butt-saving from Grant. Saw a moment to motivate his players and seized it. Whole lotta nothing.

It was one of the biggest sore loser antics I have ever seen.

A fan made the opposing coach mad on the fans home court.  The arrogant coach shows his players how to handle this by walking across the court all swelled up like he wanted to fight to confront the fan.  The coach makes things worse by giving up by pulling all of his starters off the floor.

What a great example that was coach Grant.  Don’t get mad at your players when they swell up on fans in opposing courts when the game is not going your way because coach Grant set the standard.

The Dayton sportsmanship was as bad as I have ever seen.  The bearded assistant coach constantly whined to the officials every break and not just a short conversation it was relentless.  I was yelling whiner at the coach as he cried to the official, I am surprised he did not walk across the court to confront me.

I have been on twitter pointing this out every time I see a tweet about how angry coach Grant is.

Note to coach Grant get over it and be a better teacher.

Why wasn't a technical called on Grant for charging all the way across the floor?  He certainly could had incited a brawl.

I agree. He took a bad situation, which included bad acts by his players, and created a powder keg. If that was the student section, someone probably would have thrown something, and boom!

Grant was on the way to lose the game and pulled this stunt to get the game disqualified. The opportunity to do so came and he rose up to the occasion. Pulling the best players off was just another way to justify the loss to whoever he answers to. This is my opinion, not fact.

OG, just curious, but how would that game have been DQ’d? 
even the Kermit Washington game went final. In the all-time-brawl situations even the Malice at the Palace had a final score. 
Maybe collegiate hoops has a different rule in place? I don’t know. Thanks for any clarification!

I have asked myself the same question - the only thought I have is the refs didn't want to escalate the situation more than Grant already did.  Had they done that Grant might have pulled his team off the court who knows.  Overall I think the matter was handled about as best as it could have been by everybody but Grant and his toddies.

The game would never have been disqualified.  Nothing happened that would have called for that.  He was just throwing a tantrum since things were not going well.  The problem he has is now we are in his head and that is the last place you want your opponent to be.

Grant should have run on the court to get his guys before they did something dumb (and got their ass whipped by Jordair.) 

Grant's temper tantrum session after that should have resulted in a technical and possibly ejection. Realistically the bigger punishment was having to watch his team getting pantsed for the entire 40 minutes instead of getting a head start to the locker room. 

There also should have been technical(s) assessed to the other staff members/Dayton bench. 

The Dayton bench escalated this much more than it needed to be.

Air Jordair is still a damn legend.

If there had been an actual  fight, the game would have been disqualifies. Of course there was no fight, Jett was extracted from there in time.

If  an actual fight had happened, and you could argue that the Dayton coaching staff got involved to cause one,  the game would have been disqualified.

From the video Jett had no interest in a fight and frankly Dayton was all theatre.  No fight was going to happen unless the refs let it get out of control and they did not.

Unless you can show us some sort of NCAA rule that says it would've been disqualified you're just blowing smoke. There's no way the NCAA makes a game between two top-60 teams end 90% through the game. @Old guy

Lets boomerang this post a bit, "unless you can show us some sort of NCAA  rule that says it would not have been disqualified you are just blowing smoke." I do not know the refs or NCAA rules, and I believe you do not either.

Your last sentence; "There's no way the NCAA makes a game between two top-60 teams end 90% through the game." is entirely your personal opinion.

This is drivel.

You're probably correct. Grant was playing the old disqualification angle. 

Does anybody here know how a disqualification would affect the Bill's NET ranking?

Maybe Jordaire should have given the ball back immediately, but either way, it was a gross over reaction by Grant.  The refs were standing right there and didn’t do anything about jordaire because there was nothing to do.  He never left his seat, and was barely talking sh*t.  Only reason he was escorted out were at the demands of Dayton coaching staff.
