Hinson to fans: 'Get your butts back in this gym'

We've seen Southern Illinois basketball coach Barry Hinson go off in a press conference before … but this is a new angle entirely.

After a blowout loss to Arkansas, Hinson was asked if he was surprised by the Razorbacks crowd (the "estimated actual attendance" was a paltry 4,270). Here's his fiery response:

"I told our guys, when they bring that damn Arkansas flag out with three minutes to go in the game, and you're yelling your [butt] off and they can't hear you? That's what it's all about.

"But that's not the Razorback crowd that I know. Where's the Arkansas cameras? You gotta get your butts back in this gym. That team deserves it, this university deserves it. Buy your tickets and get your butts back in here. Because this place is hard to win when they're calling the hogs. And when they bring out that damn flag? Man, it's unbelievable. But tonight it wasn't like that. But it didn't have to be like that either."

As he left the podium, Hinson added he meant the rant as a compliment. It doesn't matter - that's a wonderful press conference moment even if he was being critical of the opposing crowd for not being there.
