A UC Santa Barbara fan ran out on the court Thursday night during a stoppage in play and angrily confronted the Hawaii coaching staff.
The fan was quickly ushered off the court.
The incident, which was aired on ESPNU, came just a week after on-court violence involving fans resulted in the suspensions of two New Mexico State players.
Play was halted as UC Santa Barbara led the Big West Conference game 30-16 with 6:02 to play in the first half, with Hawaii guard Brandon Spearman called for an intentional foul and Arnold arguing with referees.
As Hawaii coach Gib Arnold and an assistant came onto the court in the aftermath of the technical foul, the fan ran up and took an aggressive stance in Arnold's face.
Hawaii forward Christian Standhardinger then pushed the man away before teammateGarrett Nevels also shoved away the fan, who gestured for the players to come after him as he backpedaled off the court.
It was unclear whether the fan remained in the arena, but he was shown in replays continuing to gesture toward the court after the incident as he walked unimpeded back through the stands.
Last Friday, New Mexico State's K.C. Ross-Miller was suspended two games and Renaldo Dixon one for their involvement in a postgame brawl between the Aggies and Utah Valley a day earlier.
Fans had rushed the court after Utah Valley's win and some were shown in replays to be involved in violent exchanges with players.
Also last month, Oklahoma State star guard Marcus Smart was suspended three games for his involvement in an altercation with a fan late in a game. Their confrontation came at the bottom of the stands behind the basket.
