Greg McDermott

I didn't give much a flip about him either way until he went at the refs a bit about why they stopped play when PS was in harms way as he lay on the floor after he hitting said floor really hard.

And Iowa was in possession, so it wasn't like the refs blowing play dead was preventing an easy scoring opportunity for his own team.

I think he was probably not happy that they blew the whistle when Bowen was mid air with no shot and nowhere to pass the ball.

I get stopping the play because you can’t have players landing on top of an already hurt player but I also get why the situation was frustrating for Creighton.

It would have been understandable if PS was kind of writhing around and seemed to be trying to drag himself OOB, but he was literally laying there almost motionless. I honestly thought he was unconscious for a little bit there, from hitting his head on the floor.

I would have had no problem if PS was ok enough to try and remove himself from the playing area & CU got mad if refs still blew it dead. But that's not what happened.
 
Greg is a good guy. I know people who played for him at Wayne State and they are still friendly with him. I think he would have rather took the Iowa job than the ISU job back then if he would stayed another year at UNI.

I would have much rather he took the Iowa job rather than the ISU job.

Yeah, that’s not a good look…then their fans were booing, WTF? Overall, they got most all of the marginal calls…so they had really nothing to cry about…
 
I'm not sure I'll ever get over taking Doug away from UNI and what it could have meant for the Panthers, but Greg is a very good person and an outstanding coach. Any team would be lucky to have him, but he's got a really good thing going in Omaha.
