EMU coach suspended for post-game ‘altercation’

YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP)—Eastern Michigan men’s basketball coach Charles Ramsey was suspended for three days for what the school called a “post-game altercation” with a fan last month.

Associate head coach Derrick McDowell led the Eagles (2-6) in Monday night’s 67-47 home victory over Wayne State.

A statement from Eastern Michigan athletic director Derrick Gragg said the incident happened Nov. 22, after the Eagles’ 62-47 loss at the University of Detroit.

School spokesman Jim Streeter said the dispute involved Ramsey and a fan but declined to say if physical contact was involved and didn’t give further details.
The Eagles play Saturday at Michigan.

Ouch. You could maybe possibly see this happening with a player and a fan, but a COACH and a fan? Thats even more so ridiculous. Youre getting paid to be a professional, act like one.

Both of those fans in Yipsilanti really got under his skin

Can't say I blame him. Some of those "fans" up there in Ypsi are whacked-out. I remember last year's BG-EMU game, and we got hit with some stuff like "Go back to Toledo", and "how bout them Cavs". I responded with F Toledo and defending Eastern Conference champs.

In the football game, some drunks came by thumping their chest about EMU football because they were winning at halftime. I asked them what their record was and they couldn't tell me. We won 38-30.

Idiots. No wonder I was so infuriated on October 4th.

Must have REALLY gotten under his skin, since the game was in Detroit.

(But I understand, and appreciate, where you were going with the "both" reference.

Glad this guy isn't a hockey coach, he'd have climbed the glass his first week.
