It's one thing to hold up a sign or yell things at a player to mess with their head. It's completely different thing to to taunt and provoke an athlete after having physical contact with them because they were making a play and ended up in the stands. Now I'm not saying in anyway that Smart shouldn't face consequences, because he should. He should have walked away. But fans can't expect to verbally and physically interact with an athlete in an extremely negative manner and not expect the athlete to react either verbally or physically. If a player comes into the stands, help them up and keep your mouth shut.

Seriously, what kind of jackass follows around a lousy bball team, sits behind the goal at home games, and develops a rep for taunting players? This isn't really a race issue, it's a lack of maturity by Smart, and just being a complete jackass by Orr.

smart didn't land on this guy. he had to walk a few steps to even get face to face with him.

can I get a ruling on heckling volunteer first base coaches?

Approved.

okay, that's all I needed. Smart should use the presser to challenge Orr to fifteen minutes of hell in a cell.

Yep, I'm sure it'll be a prepared apology, but Smart has the opportunity to become legendary.

Be like Ironman with his note cards...

Well, umm, you know... eff it. Ya I shoved that fat piece of crap and I'll do it again to any of you racists crap stains.

This is chickenshit side-stepping and passive aggressive finger pointing.

Jeff Orr Statement

"I would like to take this opportunity to offer my sincere apologies to Marcus Smart, Oklahoma State, Tubby Smith and the Texas Tech Men's Basketball program. My actions last night were inappropriate and do not reflect myself or Texas Tech - a university I love dearly. I regret calling Mr. Smart a "piece of crap" but I want to make it known that I did not use a racial slur of any kind. Additionally, I would like to offer my apologies to Texas Tech fans that have been embarrassed by the attention this incident has created."

3 games is too much for this but I think they factored in a number of Marcus Smart issues and needed to reel him in. Maybe he will get his team to the final 4 like he wanted to, just in the NIT

In conjunction with a review of the actions of Oklahoma State guard Marcus Smart by the Big 12 Conference, Texas Tech has completed its own thorough investigation regarding the incident at last night's basketball game involving Red Raider fan Jeff Orr. Texas Tech interviewed Mr. Orr along with numerous fans, photographers and arena personnel that were seated in the area surrounding him. Mr. Orr vehemently denied the accusation that he used a racial slur and no one in the vicinity of Mr. Orr heard such a slur.

Mr. Orr has admitted to directing an inappropriate phrase toward Marcus Smart. Texas Tech has been able to verify that statement independently through video provided by Texas Tech Sports Broadcasting. At no point on the film can a racial slur be heard.

Texas Tech is committed to sportsmanship and expects fans to abide by the rules set forth by the Big 12 Conference and the university. Comments such as those used by Mr. Orr are unacceptable and not condoned by Texas Tech University.

As a result of this incident, Mr. Orr has voluntarily agreed to not attend a Texas Tech home or away basketball game for the remainder of the season.
