Woodson has choice words about Fran incident with bench

Perkins was the one who got tangled up with 25. Right in front of the Indiana bench, they thought it was intentional I guess…
I can somewhat see being angry, but the tape to me showed Perkins and an IU player making contact, then that contact forced Perkins into Thompson, and his leg getting rolled. If asked at his weekly presser I doubt Woodson will admit to it being unintentional.
 
Fran has a temper, no more than a bunch of other coaches in college hoops. One thing that works against him is his size. He's a big guy. Izzo goes crazy and nobody cares. He's a fat little troll. Fran intimidates some refs. Plus, there are a few who just itch to call technicals on him.
To the point of Woodson, his team blew a 21 point lead. His focus should be on that. The actually regained the lead, then blew that. If he has a problem with Fran, have his AD send a clip to the conference. Worry about why you choked, and why you can't win on the road as a #15 team in the nation versus an undersized, undermanned team.
 
Why are some people repeating the spin indiana put on it. It was a stupid risk with one T on Fran, but mid court is not the indiana bench, it is not their teams huddles, neither Fran nor that assistant really should have been in that area. There really isn’t rules against talking to refs, people keep saying the assistant coach thing, its probably not a real rule but just unwritten one for respecting the refs time. And the proper time to talk to the ref is when they’re already on your side of the court following a stoppage in play. Working the refs during the course of a timeout is a bit overkill and usually the home team gets a bit more grace here and as unfair as it is longer tenured coaches… so a young assistant, who has a lot to learn about actual coaching alone, does seem a bit off putting.

Doesn’t excuse Fran for taking this unnecessary risk but its not as bad as Hoosier fans or coaches made it out to be.
 
Woodson was correct. Fran should have been ejected. He had no business going over there. The refs did Fran a major favor not ejecting him. The technical foul may have been against Fran and then waver off. Fran has to be smarter than that.

The tech was against the Indiana assistant. Both wooden and his coaching staff were also outside their coaching area.

Shut up
 
Uh, it is exactly the same with his political takes. He must keep a pen by his recliner while watching all the outrage shows on Fox, then comes to this site and regurgitates the Carlson/Hannity talking points. Both comical and sad in equal measure.
All the outrage shows on Fox? I mean despite your comment being outrageously placed in a basketball forum that may be the dumbest comment I have seen in a long time. CNN and MSNBC are much more outrage filled than anything on Fox and way less outrageous.

Seems there was no actually "tech" implemented, we don't know who it was against. I don't think Wooden did anything. I believe he has been dead for a very long time. Fran literally walked all the way over to the Indiana sideline. He should have never done that and should have been dinged for it. Tell me to "shut up" again because it makes you look brilliant. :D
 
It is arrogant to want to be liked and to appreciate it when you are?

What a sad, depressing outlook on life you have.

I hope you get the help you need to be more chipper some day! Good luck.
Considering you are one of the few non anonymous posters here it's different for you I'm sure but the concept of caring about being liked on an anonymous board is weird to me. I'm here to get info and read opinions and share a few....a popularity contest is at the bottom of my list of things I care about and I'm sure my posting style reflects that. In real life, sure....we all care about being liked but this is far from real life. There are posters here who are clearly looking for likes and affirmation and I find those to be some of the most annoying posters.

I think you're overall one of the better posters here and someone I'd definitely like having beers with but as much as it kills me to side with those 2, your "everyone likes me" posts do come off as pretty douchey.....some things just don't need to be said, especially when dealing with a turd like Northern. Just my 2 cents

Your mistake is thinking I care that much.

For the third time, the only point I was trying to make is that it is actually very easy to be liked and get along in this online community. You cheer on Iowa, you joke around a bit and you enjoy banter with other posters. It would be stupid to be “arrogant” about that because any simpleton - even me - can accomplish it.

What is remarkable is finding a way to be so toxic and stupid that you are nearly universally loathed in this community as Northern is. Now that is an accomplishment that takes literally years of abject stupidity.

Oh Torbee. 95% of this is political and you know it. Weird that you left that out. Just be honest about it.

The OT board is overwhelmingly liberal.

Please go back to your echo chamber off topic board where you are so liked according to you. That's a weird accomplishment that your so proud of by the way. For someone complaining about personal attacks how many have you done to Northern? I believe there's 3-5 in just this post alone.

I thought we've finished pretty high at the end of the last handful of seasons. Winning the big at Iowa is almost unheard of. I remember the last one but many don't. That's a comment on how difficult it is to do here. I think Fran gives us a chance, maybe not this or next year but in a few we might be right there. I have confidence in his ability to coach and recruit. I think we only get better from here.
Indeed. Historically, most coaches really turn it up a notch or two after their 16th year on the job and after their 67th birthday.

There is no doubt in my mind that the best is yet to come.

Idiocy like this is why Iowa revenue sports coaches have less accountability and far more job security than US Senators. smh...

It took a monumental comeback and a super hero effort from Kris at HOME to get this unstable jackass to 1-3 in the league, and some people act like he's Dean F'ing Smith at 40. I'm having a harder and harder time respecting a lot of our fan base.

If both feet are out of coaching box it needs to be a technical every time with zero exceptions.

The wishy washy crap on that rule drives me nuts.

For not caring that much you seem to continue to belabor the point.
A person that doesn’t care that much wouldn’t be demanding to have polls posted, doubling and tripling down on your point, etc.
 
It's a mischievous guess, but I think part of the issue is the schools/TV networks love the sideline antics, and apply pressure that leads to the rule being inconsistently called.
Could very well be true. They seem to love covering every time a coach goes off. Which for Izzo seems like half the game.

I was pretty sure fran only went to half court. Maybe i didn't look close enough rewatching but it did seem clear that the ref was calling a t on Indiana. Would love an explanation from the refs on some of these calls. That would be an excellent press conference. I'd love to see the refs defend or explain some of these calls.
