I guess I'm in the minority but I hate the "balls" gesture and the talking a bow.
Having crapped yelled at you on the road is what happens. No reason to respond with a crude gesture.
Sorry but that's the way I feel and I think once the emotion recedes and you look at it with a sober eye I hope you'd agree.
Of all the players Ron get the worst taunting by opposing fans. Let him throw it in their faces.

Ron calmly brought the ball up in a hostile environment with the score tied and seconds left, stopped on a dime just a couple of inches short of the arc, and hit a 3-pointer as easily and smoothly as he might have if he was taking an uncontested practice shot in his own backyard.

THAT is the definition of someone with a King Kong-sized set on him, and in that moment, under those circumstances, I doubt anyone watching could possibly disagree.

A lot of Rutgers fans agree with him and not you.

As for me.. I can forgive it because what I saw from teh Indiana bench was pathetic... I don't doubt there was a lot of low-class machinations aimed at Rutgers and Harper throughout this game.

But, ideally, we can do without the look-at-me/you-suck gestures. Think of Cliff's "TWO" gesture that got him a technical. We don't need it. Find another outlet.
You must be old…it’s ok to have some fun Out there

I don't understand how some of you want the players to play aggressively, then turn it off in an instant. Playing sports is about having an edge that helps to push you across the finish line. When you hit that moment where you can exhale, some sh*t will come out that you never knew was there.

Worst thing was.. watch Brian's twitter or the youtube of it I just posted here... Cliff follows Harper's lead and starts following him doing it also... really don't need that sort of thing mimicked (that's correct spelling but looks so weird).

It comes from his hero Uncle Kobe. He wears number 24. Some of you must be real fun at parties
Sorry but I don't see the correlation between the two. Matter of fact I'm quite the party animal. Let me get my lamp shade to prove it.

I will keep saying Harper is Rutgers best player .The shot to win the game brings back memories of Purdue where Harper makes the shot to win the game.
It’s not even a question is it? Though Cliff is growing with each game and has some really huge upside to him.

Cliff's improvement over this season has been dramatic. RHJ maybe the most talented player we have put Cliff is quickly becoming our most indispensable player. When he has to leave the game it's a huge drop off.

is it crazy to think Cliff could be a 20/10 guy next year?
He's developing fast and prob see him taking 3s next year along with a more refined smoother post game. Cliff is going to be widely considered an elite B1G player

I also expect his blocks to take a significant jump. He has the athleticism length and quickness. The timing and positioning has already improved a lot

Holy Sweet Jesus I hope not!!!!!! He needs to refine that turn around 12 footer and become more refined with his low post moves.
His goal is to become a NBA player. Needs to showcase a little ability to stretch the floor if his stock is to rise. To suppress his ability/desire to expand his game would be foolish — and will make recruiting in the future only more difficult

Cliff had a huge defensive play late in game, one of their guards drove in, Cliff stood his ground went straight up and down without fouling, altered the shot it had no chance. Believe it was when Hyatt was tied up immediately after

I didn’t love it when I saw the replay . But I wouldn’t have given it a second thought until some of you old farts on this board complained . Jeez ! It was one of the grittiest and biggest wins in rutgers history and people are complaining how the kid who hit the game-winner celebrates . Give me a fu$king break!

As one of the resident old farts I agree that it was a great game that showed how much guts this team has and the depth of their heart. I just think that we can show a little class at the end.
He silenced that crowd and ripped the heart out of their team's tournament chances. Not enough?
Didn't earlier in the season a courtside mic catch RHJ yelling F*** you! to some other team's fans at the end of the game.
i love when we win but I love when we win with class better. Winning and showing class are not mutually exclusive.
I think if there are people on the board who are OK with a captain of one of our most visible teams yelling obscenities at fans and using crude gestures on the court I don't think the problem here is with us old farts.
I'm sure that there are a few here who were ok with Odell Beckham's dog pee act too.

Expand his game-YES
Shooting 3's - NO
Making 3s is not going to make or break an NBA career for Cliff.

No one cares man . Give it up . I hate to break it to you , but high level semipro sports have a lot of shady stuff , trash talk and non family-friendly attributes. This isn’t some church choir practice
