Not.
He's not wrong really, but I hardly consider WVU to be an elite basketball program.

"We're at a point in our basketball tradition and history where we shouldn't be rushing the court," Lyons said. "We're at the top, so anybody we beat, why do we need to rush the court? We've been there and done that, and hopefully our fans and students realize that as well. We need to win with class. We expect to win, so these things aren't considered upsets, especially when we're at home. When we win, there are going to be celebrations and they'll play 'Country Roads,' but the other stuff, I hope we're done with that."
Lyons was able to watch the video Sunday afternoon and offer a better evaluation of the situation involving Harris and Texas Tech's event management:
"From the angle I saw on the computer, from up top, it does look like he hits him with a fist. If you go to the angle closest to the floor, which we have, he does hit him with his forearm. He does strike him. It was not a swing like a punch swing. It was a swing to hit him with his forearm, which obviously strikes the individual -- not that you like that.
"But at the same time, the chaos, the more I see it, honestly the lack of support that they had for our team and our players was disturbing. Obviously, there was a lot more video than what was on the internet that showed a lack of security to even get players off the court. That obviously doesn't diminish the issue itself with what happened, but I think if you don't rush the court and if you have security, these things don't rise to the level that actually occurred here."
