I was scanning over the wires tonight when I noticed they've been having trouble with unruly fan behavior at West Virginia. People were throwing objects on the court during the sixth-ranked Mountaineers' 70-51 victory over No. 22 Pittsburgh Wednesday night.
Coach Bob Huggins asked the crowd to knock it off, which caused me to reflect on my favorite technical foul in basketball history. Back in 1989, Oklahoma coach Billy Tubbs took the microphone after fans littered the court to protest a call during a game against Missouri.
"The referees request that regardless of how bad the officiating is..."
Right at the end of the video, you catch a glimpse of the official assessing Tubbs a technical foul for his comments. Classic.
