pdfan 101 Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 GW and Martinsville have always been big rivals in bball and a lot of talk had been going on social media building up to the game. There was heavy police presence, everybody going in had to go thru medal detectors and so on. The game was very physical with around 40 fouls and 4 T's called on both teams combined. With 4:10 left on a loose ball situation under the GW basket players got tangled up and punches were thrown. At the Mavahi gym the crowd is very close to the floor on all 4 sides and when the fight happened, all heck broke loose and the crowd rushed the floor. After about 10 minutes they got everything under control and were clearing the gym, and there was talk of finishing the game with the gym empty. But after a few more minutes police officials suggested they not resume the game because of the atmosphere outside the gym. When the discussion went on about what they were going to do to finish the game(at the time it was 55-51 GW) the Martinsville AD said that since GW was ahead at the time he would just forfeit the game to the Eagles. This whole thing was not one sided, the only 2 arrested were from Danville(obstruction of justice and felony assault of a police officer) but there is plenty of blame to be laid at the feet of the Martinsville players and fans. As far as calling the 2 coaches trashy, if you knew these two fellows personally I don't think you would feel that way. But if you feel that way so be it, nothing I can say on here will change your mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 There are a couple of articles online which describe the events that led up to this fracas....... I am not surprised at all.... I agree with hokiebird's assessment above. Probably had a drunk ref as well.....(Die Hard Graham fans know what I'm talking about) GMan and Deleted Account 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
