[QUOTE="Pharm Frog, post: 2581163, member: 34435"] Best heckling I ever witnessed was at an Angelo State men's basketball game against Abilene Christian when the Wildcats had an All-American guard. Fans were on him from the time he was warming up and then disaster happened for the kid...he lost the handle on a driving layup attempt (probably knocked out of his hands) and the ball went over the backboard and then airballed his first shot from about 10' outside the arc. The fans had started in on the traditional airball chant but then he turned to the student section and said something. The fans (led by a couple of kids) started screaming "_______'s Crying" over and over and over. Would not stop (not just for seconds but for real minutes - not game clock minutes). The ACU coach eventually called a timeout and took him out seeing that he was losing poise by the second and he went over and put a towel over his head at the end of the bench. Mistake....fans got even louder screaming "Coach....________'s Crying". After what seemed like forever, he stands up and kicks over his chair and starts making his way to the scorer's table. Technical foul on the bench is called and the coach grabs him and tells him to go sit back down...which he did...by leaving for the locker room. Fans immediately switch to "Bring Back Quitter" and it continues for almost the entire rest of the first half. Second half warmups start and he's back in their warm up line but doesn't start the second half. Fans start on a "Sixth Man" chant. But he's not the first off the bench and it changes to "Seventh Man" and then "Eighth Man" until he goes back in (game score isn't relevant at this point because it's already a huge lead for ASU). Kid picks up a hard foul within seconds of entering and coach pulls him again and he heads directly to the locker room after flipping off the fans and thus getting his second technical. Fans start chanting softly "Abilene" and then loudly "Christian" clap clap clap. And I was the PA announcer and remember this like yesterday because I was asked to repeat the "sportsmanship" announcement like three times and the fans would mock it by chanting "We aren't cussing! We aren’t cussing!" and "F is just a letter" followed by "F You ACU" and stuff. Their coach spoke at the ASU sports luncheon a year later and said that he'd never seen a player get so destroyed by fans like what happened that night. Too long I know but one of my favorite PA announcer memories. [/QUOTE]
