Ok What was Kriner doing dunking at end of game.
- Thread starter youflog1hawk
- Start date
He just wanted to tell Hurley to suck it one last time
I wish he wouldn’t have done that, no doubt. However Dan Hurley was a dbag, couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Let’s move on.
He got a pretty good elbow by a uconn player as he passed by which was kinda a cheap shot. Granted kriner probably shouldn't have dunked at that stage of the game
Class and UConn should never be used in the same sentence...fans, coach, or players...
Absolutely not a problem ... you play with swagger and intensity and you play out the whole 40 minutes. I have no problem with his dunk.
The only problem was that flagrant elbow thrown by the UConn player .
That needs to be reviewed by the commissioners office and that player needs to be suspended .
Some of you guys myself included have been on these guys for years about playing with intensity and toughness and when someone finally does then you get all riled up about it.

when you are up by 28 in football and you throw a touchdown pass with 5 minutes left in the game, people have the same conversation. I say, "if you don't like it, stop it."
First of all, don't throw him the ball. Just hold the ball up top.
I'm not a Steve Spurrier fan, but I am a fan of his, "It's not my job to stop us from scoring" mentality. Choke on deez nutz, Huskies. May Hurley and those jackass fans still be gagging on Hawk pubes on Thursday as they sit down to their turkey.
Fran said Kriener felt bad about it afterwards and asked him to apologize for him in his press conf. I don't think it is a big deal.
Eff that shit. Boots on throats is how this gets done.
Just so everyone knows the shot clock was still on, we inbounded the ball with 30.x to go. If it's Alabama State, ok, don't do that...but these guys were UConn and they played hard and pressed until the end of the game.
Very impressed with Ryan’s interview after the Oregon game.
I’m not surprised he is classy enough to see fault in his own actions. It wasn’t a big deal, but no harm in apologizing when you have made a mistake.

I hope this isn't true.. no apology necessary ... you play until the final horn and you play with swagger ...you want intensity or you want your big men to play soft ...if Fran asked him to apologize that would be the only mistake Fran had made the whole week .
Agreed. Kriener should've run over to those Bridgeport shitheads, thrown his right leg up over their shoulders, and slapped his bag on their eye sockets.
The mistake was not reverse dunking and then dropping trou for an MSG pressed ham for the front row bridge and tunnel trash.
Then UConn women win by how much every single year?
There was no mistake ... geez no wonder we haven't been to the final four since 1980 ...
Not the very end, when it looked like we were going to just run the time out. No one was even attempting to defend the basket.
I get what some of you are posting, but there is room for class and a winner’s mentality to coexist.
I was embarrassed for UCONN watching their coach chest bump and slap heads last night while the opposing coach was waiting for a handshake.
The reality is Fran knows this too: Despite his ethos as a hot head, he is, in reality, calmer than most of the coaches he goes against. His typical coach’s stance is simply to have his arms crossed and remain fairly quiet. In the last 3 or 4 years, he rarely has received technicals.

A team of UCONN's pedigree with such an intense head coach should probably try and defend the goddamned hoop.
How do them nuts taste, Danny?
Not having more players like Marble and Armstrong and Lester are the reasons Iowa has not been to the Final 4 since 1980.
This is common basketball etiquette, and question your credibility if you are not familiar with it.
Ryan sees it, Fran sees it.
There’s a difference between playing with intensity and being a classless douche. Kriener seems like an OK kid, but that was a mistake that might make people who don’t know him think he is the latter.
Remember when Fran didn’t let the team shake hands after the North Dakota game a couple of years ago? There are unwritten rules when it comes to sportsmship.
You get your butt kicked by 20 and one more badly timed dunk really doesn't matter. We probably won't play UConn the next 4 years and Kriner will be gone. Not a biggie in my book. But I did notice Fran wasn't very happy with it and I'm sure it won't happen again
Hurley himself said postgame it was all good. That is the correct response from the opposition: You got your butt kicked; you should have done something to prevent it.
The winning team, though, has a slightly different protocol.

Whitely Herzog was once asked why his team was stealing bases late in a game with his team in the lead. His reply was something along the lines of, "Because they were still trying to hit HRs". I understand that the dunk occurred on the last play of the game but if UConn even remotely defends the basket it doesn't happen.

Guarantee Bohannon doesn't throw that pass down to Kriener if that dork wasn't pissing with him while dribbling the clock out. If you don't want to get dunked on then back off and put your hands on your hips.
You're goddamned right. Beaker Hurley was calling timeouts and attempting to coach every time his team cut it to under 20.
BOOTS ON THROATS. Put that on the backs of the jerseys.
I didn’t have a problem with the dunk but sure... probably could have just let the clock run out. On a different note: I didn’t realize Hurley would be one a coach I easily can despise now. I’m surprised ESPN’s love affair with UConn didn’t involve sending a camera to the locker room after he was booted. I would guess Hurley appeared on camera 10x for every once accidental shot of Fran. And this while Iowa was the team kicking the shit out of UConn.
Kriener got “bumped” at least four times during dead balls situations during the game.
Got no problem with Ryan's dunk. And it was enhanced even more due to the fact it was in front of those douchebags from UConn sitting under that basket.
Ryan felt bad about it and said he thought there was more time than there was. Fran apologized to Hurley and his staff.
I'm surprised kriner didn't ko the punk that give him the elbow after the dunk. Kriner doesn't take shit off anybody, he showed nice restraint
I thought the funniest part of all that was Tyler Cooks reaction. He was like what did he just do.
To be honest I found the dunk uncalled for but funny at the same time. How Ryan apologized via Fran I found to make the uncalled part of it better.
