It was because it involved foreign objects thrown on the court during the course of play, which would theoretically be a safety hazard. Of course it wasn't, because everyone knew it was coming, and play stopped til the court was cleared, which took a while the first few times, but later on they were resuming play in no time.This tradition went on for years in Philly and apparently in Lynchburg but the ultimate reason it was banned is like Oldflame said above. People in Syracuse started throwing Oranges, St Johns started throwing Apples and so forth. That got ugly quickly and the NCAA stepped in during our season and outlawed it throughout the entire country. I would say that if this did happen in Lynchburg during games, it would make national news and bring a lot of attention back on the program and that tradition.
