Sports
Players
Fans

Doesn't matter what league, the dynamics of sports and fans have been the same since... forever:

Dads/players shouldn't engage the fans. Just play better and they'll cheer you. They WANT to cheer you.

What a novel concept...

The Round Mound of Rebound has it exactly correct.

That large fellow form New Jersey, not sure his name, made a cogent point: “Heavy is the head of the man who wears the crown.”

"Players/families are too D@** sensitive... you know what you're signing up for"

Explains why we've yet to make the tourney. Too soft

And how many people in the world think the fans in Philly or New York are GOOD!?!!

You get booed by your hometown fans in those cities because the fans suck. Every rational person knows that. They are only good IF you win.

When you have a reputation as a city as being bad fans, why use those examples to try and make a point. There are plenty of cities that fans will boo the refs, the opposing team, but you rarely hear them boo the home team.

Like Perk said, fans expect the team to build on last year's success (won the NIT)....

Recruited super well (Duren & Bates)

Coach hasn't taken signing a talented PG serious (PGs see the favoritism for Alo). Pundits all have said missy find a PG. Instead coach thought he could "get by" w/out one. Positionless ball first, then Bates at PG. Now keys handed to Alo w/maxed ceiling already.

City expects team w/this talent to finally make a name in the big dance. This isn't everybody gets a participation trophy time....

Don't sign up to play there then if you don't have what it takes or can't stand the heat. Simple as that.

Sign w/a happy clapper sunshine team...

MEMPHIS has long had the same type of reputation ---like we will only support a winner ---and we have and will BOO the home team.

Memphis is amateur level compared to Philadphia & some others in criticism of the home team.

Ike doesn't believe in booing kids and these students r kids
If u feel u must boo, boo the pros, the refs, a stupid call by a coach

If you think pros and college are the same, you might need to rethink life. Simple as that!

Kids hardly ---they are grown men--old enough to die for our country--but can't drink a beer or play cards in a casino SMH---well maybe Bates is still not 18

Remind me again the motto/pitch the coach has been selling to recruits. I'll wait.

Also, thought the masses here could figure out we're discussing constructively criticizing players not booing. Same points made in the clips apply in college as well. The WORSE fans I've seen are in little league. If those players can handle it, well....

I don’t know about good but New York fans are for sure passionate. I’ve never heard anyone refer to Philly fans as “good” lol. They’re batshit crazy.

Still he is a young men representing our university. I see no valid reason to boo ALo, (or any of our players) cringe maybe but not boo. The kid tries and plays hard, he just hasn't matured as a basketball PG.

He still has represented our university well. Seems counter productive to boo on so many levels. Penny has tried to make him into something he is not, and that is not really on ALo.

I think because basketball skills came naturally to Penny he believes they come naturally to all of his players, whereas most of them need to be developed and taught. Same is applicable to coaching. All the more reason why Penny should rely more on LB and his ability to develop players at all skill levels. What a waste of knowledge sitting right beside Penny.

Incorrect. Fans here are the same as fans in any other city. Some are bad. Most are good. One shouldn’t generalize nor make assumptions about that which they know very little.

Describe a "good" fan.
