The only good thing is nobody outside of Iowa or West Virginia was watching this game with OK State v K-State on in pretty much every other Big 12 market. It's not like he flipped the bird on Big Money or something, etc. Not that it makes it any better but it will hopefully be swept under the rug.

It was stupid, but I don't really care, either.
Things happen in thuggy games. Emotions get the better of people. Dumb mistake. I could shrug it off.

Not defending Booker, but I noticed that he doesn't look at the camera before doing so. While it's clear that he meant to flip someone or something off, I'm not convinced it was the camera. He may have heard a fan taunting him from behind him in the crowd and tossed up a finger just out of his own frustration that happened to be captured on film.
It doesn't really matter either way, I just thought I would share what I saw. Unacceptable behavior when you should know as a player that anything you do can be caught by the cameras.

I don't either, except that the foul he committed gave WVU points they shouldn't have had, and he's probably going to get suspended, which hurts the team.
I think a full-game suspension might be a bit much, but maybe a half would be more appropriate. Still a dumb move on his part. I didn't see it, but then again I was watching ESPN3 on my laptop, so didn't have the benefit of the big screen. Was it really that obvious?
Well, Percy better be ready or Niang better stay out of foul trouble. (Hopefully Niang stays out of trouble)
Yeah, I'm sure the WVU students were razzing him. The TV announcers stated as much earlier in the game.
It lasted about 1 second but it was clear. The camera guy seemed scared when he panned over to Booker and he was giving the finger and panned out quickly.

St. Joe's forward Halil Kanacevic let his emotions get the best of him in his team's 65-61 loss to Villanova on Tuesday night.Now he's paying for it with a two-game suspension in response to his "obscene gesture," announced by the school early Wednesday night.
I don't mind the attitude. We were getting bullied around for much of that second half, someone has to take a stand. As for the finger, it's just a finger, and its not on a trigger. Play on.
The foul was stupid. We had the ball and I think a 12 point lead so it kept them in the game. No defense for it. You need to think of the team first
