Matt Doherty's actions a disgrace

Posted Feb 22, 2010
The scene was a bizarre one Saturday night at FedEx Forum. Memphis was up by nine over SMU with four minutes remaining in the game, and some of the courtside fans had been giving Mustangs coach Matt Doherty an earful all night. Doherty did not know any of the fans, but he decided to, in his words, "give them a hard time." That hard time consisted of a few memorable quotes: "At least I went to a real college and not Memphis Tech!" (Jackson Sun)
