From your wording, it appears you're saying he got the 2nd T and thrown out on purpose, just to pump up the crowd and team. Am I reading that right? If so, I'd have to say that's a pretty bad take. Coaches will get a T as a tactical measure, but no coach would get kicked out of the game for a tactical purpose.
And NCAA invite - doesn't it always work that way for them?
Not unless your assistant coach is an alcoholic named Shooter.
Norman Dale?
With respect to the 2nd T, both DB and the BE head of officials were both in the crowd. It would not surprise me if DB went over and had some choice words for him.
………… and realistically “nose picker” could get another raise”.
That's the best part... you listen to the crowd after Hurley's antics and it's all cheers & positives, not even booing. It wasn't until the referee issued the technical that the Ref You Suck chants started. Perhaps Breeding should've T'ed himself up for inciting the undesirable reaction.
Who makes the call on which officials a team/conf use? Does the conf change who they use?
From this point on I am going to believe that Hurley looked over at Kimani and said “take us home Shooter“ before he walked off the court.
I don't think Bobby wants to be an assistant again. He did it for 1 year under Dan at URI and went to Buffalo.
I loved CV and hated that he didn’t get a chance to finish his UConn career on the court.
Yea he smiled and clapped. I’m trying to find a video of it. Can’t remember who it was against.
It was at PC. John Cahill was the official. A foul plus the T enabled PC to tie the game with like 5 seconds left
I might have lost my voice yelling threats at him in the Civic Center several years ago.
Yes! I remember that now. We were up like 6 points with 10 seconds left and they hit 4 free throws and a 3 to go up 1 and Ollie took it right back. Cahill was always a Calhoun hater.
I like how the only uncertainty in that sentence is whether or not you lost your voice.
No. I don’t think it is the case that he wanted to get tossed. It was clear T2 was over the top, but this is the casualty of an adversarial reputation he’s developed with the people that call the game.
I agree with the reputation part, but that 2nd T was so absurd that it went beyond reputation. I saw it on a number of news sources, including the VSIN gambling show on NESN/NESN+, and the T was universally panned as egregious. This is one of those situations, I think, where it went beyond reputation and almost seemed personal. I say that based on only how bad the call was.
Might be interesting. Maybe we make another run at Webster from VT
this is a safe space right????
And a few small but notable make up calls to get in novas heads. At least it seemed that way.
Ultimately we will take the best assistants available. However, It's really important we're using our platform to elevate minorities by hiring them here because assistants will get HC jobs after being here, so we should try to use our program's stature to help develop and push more future black coaches. We were looking at Webster from VT previously when we hired Freeman I believe... he's someone who should definitely get a look again
