[CheerVeteran]

Paintsville's Cheerleaders were standing in front of the fans, cheering and throwing balls and stuff to their crowd. JC players showed poor class first by running between the girls and the fans. There was only about 4 feet between the girls and fans, but that was right were JC ran through.
Did Paintsville make it a point to run in front of the JC fans?...No. Did they try to get between the JC girls and their fans?...No. They stayed behind them like you are supposed to do.
When JC's boys got to midcourt, they could have just as easily run onto the court from there, couldn't they? Although I didn't condone what the cheerleaders did. I thought JC deserved it.

I was thinking the same exact thing.....I'm pretty sure that they throw those plastic basketballs out at almost every game, and if you run directly in front of them, odds are you are going to get hit with one! I don't think it was a deliberate gesture of rudeness!
