Five Georgia Players Ejected From Game

Post by MikeADore »

New Georgia coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson appears to have brought the nasty from UCF to Athens. Her UCF teams were known for their reach-and-grab, bump-and-knock style of defense, but having five players ejected and her nonchalant attitude about it all makes you worry about what might happen when the Bulldogs get into SEC play. This from ESPN:

"At the Paradise Jam in the Virgin Islands, Georgia defeated VCU on Friday despite having five players ejected and another foul out. Four were tossed in the first quarter when forward Jordan Isaacs objected to the Rams' defense by shoving two VCU players. After that fracas, the Rams shot eight technical free throws. In the third quarter, a fifth Lady Bulldog, Chloe Chapman, was ejected after kicking at a VCU player when both were on the floor.

"Katie Abrahamson-Henderson, in her first season a Georgia's coach, didn't plan to suspend the five for Saturday's game against Seton Hall. The SEC, however, stepped in and suspended Chapman for that game based on "the NCAA definition of fighting," a league spokeswoman said. Georgia lost its first game of the season to the Pirates."

On a more pleasant note, I've always enjoyed watching Mike Neighbors' teams play, and his Arkansas Razorbacks are off to a great start. Again, from ESPN:

"Another SEC team at the Paradise Jam, Arkansas, didn't have such drama, but moved to 8-0 with three wins in the Virgin Islands, including over previously unbeaten Kansas State. Obviously, it's early and the Razorbacks have faced only one ranked team in K-State. But they have the most victories thus far of SEC teams, a strong start for the squad picked to finish fourth in the conference."

My gosh. WTP. Why would an AD hire some poor sportsmanlike scum as Katie Abrahamson-Henderson? Anything to win with the other 13 teams in our league.

Interesting that one of the players was our transfer to UGA, Flournoy!
