Agree 100%. And they don’t need to be behind the bench. Set it up like Duke
And it’s not just that the students are currently on an end. It’s also that they are WELL off the floor.
This is such an easy move to raise the energy and enthusiasm level in Cassell. And it would drive ticket sales and actual butts in seats.
The AD is just looking for ways to make his job easier. The way it is now, he doesn’t have to worry about student behavior. And sold but empty seats makes concourse management and concession setups a lot easier.

Cassell Coliseum. Make renovations, yes. Tear it down, no.

Good idea, until the students don't show you have a lot of empty seats.**

They’re more likely to show for 300-500 or so courtside seats on risers**
