Didn’t Coach Hawkins threaten to go into the stands a few years ago to challenge one of our alums??? Agreed, not a good look. Will President Stoute and/or AD Mahar address this situation?

Who knows what was said or done to cause it but I'd rather have a little emotion on team after a loss than accept losing. Team has outperformed expectations so far and tough game ahead on Friday against team with MAAC's best record to date, Griffs look like a determined team , lets hope that can continue. This team has played better in all aspects than what we have come to expect, it may be that having a player like Mitchell who wants to rebound and plays interior defense has changed the mentality of the team and made them a hard team to play. Winning the games we have with our two preseason all Maac selections being out is surprising to say the least ! Lets support this team this weekend, go griffs.

I think an explanation is due for this totally classless behavior. Nothing to be proud of, for sure.

What was said by the BG coach, that prompted the shove? I think that should be what was possibly unwanted. RW was right behind Hawkins, and nothing happened. Hawkins should have just ignored what was said however. I don't think we should make a big deal over this incident. Go Griffs!!!

Not a good look for the Griffs at all. That was not a love tap. Now that this is out ,RW needs to address this, and clear the air. What if one of our players did this?

What does the team playing well so far have to do with our coach shoving a coach from the other team in the post game handshake line? That makes us tough? Seriously? This incident needs an explanation.

Some apology or explanation is in order. If the Bowling Green Asst. Coach was taunting our team it's one thing. If it's just a loss of temper it deserves some response
from Reggie or Maher.

Do. Not. Care.

Keep winning games.

If you understood the context of the stuff Srulovich pulled during the tournament, you'd understand why Hawkins did what he did.

I can't get into too much detail but:
-Instigating fights on Friday and literally twice on Sunday.
-Trying to "scout" by milling around the Canisius bench during the Canisius-WKU game.

He was reprimanded by tournament officials for his behavior.

Some background information like that would go a long way to explain what happened and why. Maher or RW need to step up.

German has four times as many followers as his brother. Why didn't German release the video? Why didn't anyone else at BGSU release it?

Because pros in this industry know that you don't comment on opposing players, staff, coaches, etc. If Canisius releases a statement, it will only be about the status of individuals at Canisius.
