Does once a Colonial/Revolutionary always a Colonial/Revolutionary hold for those who transfer out? 

This falls into my standard to how to handle yourself at a game. 

If you are a grown-up, be respectful or be silent.  College kids are still kids, and booing or heckling kids as an adult is lame.  Officials, however, are always fair game.

If you are in college, heckle away.  They are your peers and you can have some fun with this.

Agree on not booing.

FWIW, Max has fallen out of the starting lineup and is only averaging 9 mpg in conference play.  Now maybe Dru Joyce decides to start him in some sort of "revenge game," but odds are Max will have a limited role on Wednesday night.

It will be indifference for me. I thoroughly enjoyed watching and cheering for each of these two young men play for GW, and I wish them nothing but success in their future endeavors. That said, when I go to a game, I am there to root for my team, and they are no longer on it. I agree with everyone else, though, that booing them would be classless and wrong. 

I don't boo anyone unless they are being a show-off, classless or dangerous.
Joe can be in the first category, but still wouldn't boo him unless he shows off or gets in the other
two categories.
  Maybe recall Joe was actually going out the door, public or not, before JC was fired.
  Max obviously feeds off emotion and that may influence his play on Wednesday. Actually, though he hasn't  had much impact this year, the familiar confines of Smith Center and emotion, if channeled positively, could a potential worry for the game.
It was an odd transfer, as opposed to Joe's bizarre odyssey, but maybe it was about money--or running out of options at decision time.
He played hard, certainly around the boards.
  Both are good examples of the grass not being greener: Bamisile for his bizarre odyssey. And Edwards
for his slide in play, at least so far.
  If they behave appropriately, no reason to boo them. They can see what they missed.
 Personally, like every player, hope their lives revolve around more than basketball.
   Because it will someday.

Can’t be there for this one, but would not boo either. I agree with those who say adults should be adults.

That does not mean, however, that I wouldn’t be waiting with anticipation to catch one of the several passes Max will throw into the stands. If he plays meaningful minutes, that is. Which he likely won’t.

While Alum1 will likely be correct about this, I wonder whether a presumably extra-motivated Max will receive an increase in playing time relative to his recent past?  Probably not unless he comes in and say makes two quick shots, or something to that effect.

I understand all 3 moves and do not necessarily fault the players.    Joe sought to boost his professional resume by transferring back up.   His move to Oklahoma did not work as he hoped, but it was understandable.  Max was A-10 rookie of the year, but at some point seemed to become  uncoachable.  I think that both Max and GW agreed that his moving was best for all involved.  So he made a lateral move and that too has not worked out as he hoped.    I expect him to be on his 4th different team next season as I cannot imagine he will stay on a team where he doesn't even get meaningful bench minutes.  (I also can't help but noticing that the improved play of Duquesne seemed to coincide with the benching of Max).  As for Brown, my feeling is that he was had some talent but needed more time to develop.   He was also a super nice person.   I may have been in the minority on him (maybe I was still hungover on his superb Kenner play) but I was disappointed (but not surprised) he left as he had not basketball future at GW.    As for my reaction to Joe and Max, I will not  boo but I certainly would not cheer.   I would cheer for Noel if he visited the Smith Center.   I will say that when I check the box scores on all 3 players, it pleases me when Joe and Max have had bad games (serves them right for leaving) but am happy for Noel when he has a good game.

Prescient call jf!

Have to wonder if a thread about whether we should boo Max gave him a little extra motivation to play like he did against us.  Nothing like a little bulletin board material.
