The announcers saw the hard hip check that almost put him into the stands. They made several comments about it. Apparently since VT was playing man-to-man and not zone its legal to grab, push and bash players out of the way. I'm used to watching Cooney get manhandled but that blow sent him about 90 degrees in another direction and he seriously almost ended up in a fans lap behind the backboard. If one of our guys did that and a "T" was called I wouldn't have had a problem with it. It was completely a cheap shot! To look right at it and do nothing, as the official standing right there did, is unbelievable. [/QUOTE]
