Holman suspended... for Butler game

[agibson]

Sorry to hijack the Milwaukee thread, but this doesn't quite feel worth a new thread - and the game was on the same day.

I hadn't heart that Holman was part of a double ejection in the UIC-Detroit game!

OK - maybe this deserves its own thread after all.

Holman will serve a mandatory one game suspension because of the incident, so he'll miss the Butler game.

I actually first saw this over on the Butler board:
buhoops.yuku.com/topic/6845/Eli-Holman-Suspended

All a bit funny, because I thought I'd read somewhere (maybe an older David Wood blog?) that the refs were quick to assure everyone that the incident _wasn't_ a fight, but that both players had used words that justified the ejection.

I was watching the game at the time it happened...it wasn't a "fight" per se, but Holman threw - and landed - a punch below the belt on Birton. Since he threw a punch, I believe that's automatically a suspension.

Agibson, the Woods blog you're thinking of referred to an incident in the Butler-YSU game when Vanzant and Maymon both got T'd up.
