Cincinnati defends Tuberville for yelling at fan

Cincinnati athletic director Mike Bohn said Sunday that coach Tommy Tuberville was in a "no-win situation" on Saturday when he responded to a fan's heckling by yelling into the stands.

As Tuberville walked into the tunnel following the Bearcats' 20-3 home loss to BYU, a frustrated fan yelled: "Hey Tommy, you're stealing. You're stealing from this university. You're stealing, Tommy!"

Tuberville reacted by yelling: "Hey, go to hell. Get a job! Get a job!"
