I was at the show today, and I also believe the fur-wearing idiot cost Fagan the match. I commented to my friends and the people sitting around me that something was said before he released the ball, and most seemed to agree. That guy never should have been let in the building as he was being very disrespectful to everyone around him. I believe at one point the tournament director went over to say something to him during a commercial break and then walked away shaking his head.
Ironically enough, the same idiot was there last year and was standing behind my family and I during the round of 8. Him and his kids were being very loud and obnoxious and generally making things un-fun for everyone. He was also very obviously drunk, as he probably was again today.
The PBA should take measures not to let things like this ruin their telecasts, as I'm willing to bet Fagan would've won the title today had he won the first match. He was the only one of the 4 that seemed to be lined up at all.
