2015 NBL Canada Finals brawl
The 2015 NBL Canada Finals brawl was an altercation that occurred prior to Game 7 of the year's National Basketball League of Canada (NBL) Finals, between the Windsor Express and Halifax Rainmen on April 30, 2015. It led to the Rainmen's forfeit of the deciding game and allowed the Express to win the championship by default. Windsor's guard Tony Bennett, who participated in the brawl, said, "It's a black eye not just for the league, but for basketball."〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/windsor/windsor-express-declared-2015-nbl-champ-after-halifax-forfeits-game-7-1.3056448 )〕
After the Rainmen reached the site of the game hours early and began warming up, they were discovered by Express assistant coach Gerry Brumpton. Windsor head coach Bill Jones later entered the room to retrieve a ball and violence erupted between him and Halifax center Liam McMorrow. This sparked a brawl between both the teams as a whole, causing police to arrive. The Rainmen eventually left the stadium and chose to not compete in Game 7 because of safety concerns.〔
The incident resulted in mass fines and several suspensions, most notably the lifetime ban of Rainmen coach Josep Clarós from coaching in the NBL Canada and the 2015–16 season suspension of Express head coach Bill Jones. The league also fined the entire Halifax Rainmen organization, with charges totaling to $90,000. Tony Bennett was the sole Express player to be fined.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/halifax-rainmen-coaches-team-fined-90k-by-nbl-after-forfeiting-championship-1.3057516 )〕
== Background ==
Both teams had previously appeared in the NBL Canada Finals, with the Windsor Express being named the champions in the prior season by topping the Island Storm in seven games. The Halifax Rainmen appeared in the 2012 Finals, which was played in a best-of-five format, but dropped three games and lost to the London Lightning. Halifax finished the 2014–15 regular season as the Atlantic Division champions and had the second-best record in the league, behind only the Central Division winners, the Express. In the 2015 NBL Canada Playoffs, the Rainmen were coming off wins over the Moncton Miracles and Island Storm, 3–1 and 4–1 respectively. Windsor, on the other hand, had beaten the Mississauga Power 3–1 and the Brampton A's 4–3.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://nblcanada.ca/nblcanada/images/nbl_canada_2014-15_post-season_guide.pdf )〕
