Apparently, Houston guard Aubrey Coleman thought stomping on the face of Arizona’s Chase Budinger was funny. I wasn’t laughing after I saw the replay.In case you missed it on Saturday night, Coleman was ejected from the game in Tucson, Ariz., for stomping on Budinger’s face after being called for a charge. Here’s the footage:The worst part of that video, to me at least, took place at the 32-second mark, when Coleman’s teammates congratulated him with high fives and laughter on his way to the exits.Message to Coleman: That wasn’t funny. You shouldn’t be laughing after disgracing the game of basketball.You know what is funny, though? Houston led this game by 10 points with 52 seconds left and couldn’t close it out. Arizona’s Nic Wise hit a three-pointer with 10 seconds left to force overtime. Arizona went on to win, 96-90. Wise, coincidentally, is a Houston native.That’s what I like to call Karma. Coleman deserved to be ejected. And Houston fittingly lost the game.I’ll continue this blog entry with the first Sorrentino Scale of the hoops season. Still two undefeated teams in Big 12 Conference play. And wouldn’t you know it? The defending national champs are one of them.
That’s all for now, friends. As always, discuss.
