The incident, captured live on television across Australia shortly after the A-League’s decision to ban nearly 200 fans, drew significant attention on social media. Such instances of overly enthusiastic spectators are uncommon in the NBL, prompting league officials to launch an investigation. The individual involved faces the possibility of a lifetime ban or suspension.
The incident unfolded as Thornton drove towards the basket midway through the third quarter, resulting in him falling to the floor and nearly colliding with the advertising sign. While Thornton looked up in anticipation of a foul call, the offender poured beer onto his hair.
Cotter remarked, “This behavior needs to be addressed. I would be deeply disappointed if my club were involved in such actions. It’s 2015, not 1974. That’s all I’ll say about it. But it’s unacceptable. I mean, really, how uncivilized and foolish can one be? It should never have happened in the first place.”
