The fight after the fight, when Rider walked off the court

Albany, NY — While Siena men’s basketball coach Jimmy Patsos was shaking hands with the air; Rider was trying to make it out of the Times Union Center in one piece. 

Through boos and taunts, the Broncs peacefully walked under the tonal and back to their locker room, but a few immature fans couldn’t help themselves — throwing items at the defenseless players and coaching staff. Fed up, one Rider coach appears to have made an attempt at a fan in the stands[ pay close attention to the end of this video]:


The Metro Atlantic Athletics Association (MAAC) did not address this part of the incident in a release today.
