West Virginia president 'appalled' by fans' rude behavior
Quote:
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- West Virginia University president Jim Clements apologized Thursday to the University of Pittsburgh, saying he was "appalled and embarrassed" by fans who threw objects onto the court during Wednesday night's basketball game.
Pittsburgh assistant coach Tom Herrion was hit under his right eye with what appeared to be a coin.
Clements joined Mountaineers coach Bob Huggins in denouncing the behavior.
Clements said the university plans to increase surveillance and security during future games and vowed to prosecute violators "to the fullest extent permitted by law."
He also encouraged fans who observe dangerous or inappropriate behavior to text AID to 94597.
"It is a shame that a terrific performance by our team was overshadowed by the unfortunate actions of a few fans," Clements said.
