Alaska Airlines Arena Closed For Accident Investigation
Accident investigators are on the scene at Alaska Airlines Arena in Seattle, taking measurements and piecing together reenactments of a serious incident that occurred on Sunday night. As you can tell from the photo above, the victim -- a well-dressed man seated courtside in close proximity to the scorer's table -- attempted to hit the brakes and avoid a collision. We're sad to report, however, that he was unsuccessful.
It's unclear what the victim was trying to do leading up to the accident, though one could surmise he was attempting to stop a crime in progress. His efforts, however, were in vain as the Washington Huskies beat his associates like they stole something. Instead, his accident serves as a metaphor for what unfolded on the Huskies' home court.
Washington State head coach Ken Bone, or the victim in this case, was able to dust himself off and get back to work, but his failed brakes and subsequent fall took a toll on himself and his team. There's been no word on the extent of his injuries, but we'll assume he walked away with a broken spirit and bruised pride.
Edit: We've secured video of the incident. Warning: It's not for the faint of heart.

That's why they didn't allow black sole shoes in the gym in high school
He had to have left at least 7 ft of “skid mark”

Quality humor from you guys tonight.
too bad it had to come as a result of the turd of a game that was the UW/WSU basketball game.
Is there a way to represent this team's season
In the form of a chalk outline?

SO disappointed there's not a video of the Bone fall.
Did we really only get one verbal today? No other news on football recruits? At least the one we got was a huge pickup.
Video you say?

Thank you. This made my day.
I was hoping to get news of another commit or two to distract me from the game. But, Bone eating shit combined with the 2 stellar write-ups did a great job.
Yeah, there is video for sure
And you thought Washingon State basketball disappeared of ESPN after the 76 classic. This will be around for a while

It's only been four hours, but I am surprised it't not there
But then again, it’s Ken Bone not Phil Jackson

i'm glad it's been reduced to satire
That may be the only way to get through this season. Easier to consider it a cosmic joke rather than having to watch lazy defense,, inability to get back in transition, an unbelievable array of turnovers, a point guard who just dribbles around rather than running an offense, and a total unwillilngness to block out and rebound. this team doesn’t value the basketball. I have been wondering for 4 years why Lodwick plays, and I’m still wondering. Aden is lazy, sloppy with the ball, refuses to play defense or run the offense properly, has no court sense, yet still plays. I like Motum, and I like Lacey. Aside from them, everybody has deficiencies big time. I wish we had a coach like Altman, Montgomery, Sean Miller, or Thad Boyle at Colorado. Bone looks lost out there. I’m still waiting for him to get pissed off about a loss or let them have it during a timeout.
glad you're happy, pullmaniac
with a 10- game losing streak at the end of the first season. Bone stated at the end of the first season, “I guess I should have emphasized defense more.” The second season featured 3 marijuana busts, losses to Oregon on the road, a loss at ASU (!!!), a blowout home loss to Stanford ., and a 30-point loss to Wichita State in the NIT. I would take the Wichita State coach any day. All this from a team that SHOULD have made the NCAAs.
So, you pretty much have the players you are complaining about plus Klay and Casto
and you are saying that last years team shoul have been an NCAA team? I think you are seeing this year why we weren’t an NCAA tournament team last year. The supporting cast stinks and they look worse without Klay and Casto around.

Not really a fan of Aden either.
But if he didn’t play tonight we probably lose by 20. I realize he doesn’t play much defense, but he score 18 tonight, had 7 rebounds, and overall I thought gave pretty good effort.
Who would you rather see out there than Lodwick?

speaking of 'skid marks'
It is not the size of the gift that demonstrate support…it’s the action of joining.

I see what you did, Brian
But I can’t say anything because I didn’t catch it either.

I wonder if we would ever get any corporate sponsor naming for one of our facilities
