How has Smart NOT been warned for this yet? (Marquette vs Creighton)

[Travelman6]

Absolutely ridiculous:



Hard to run your offense when the opposing coach is actively playing D....

 

[Waquoit]

Because he's Smart?

 

[Huskyforlife]

It is unbelievable there hasn’t been a statement or any sorta acknowledgement of this from the conference. It might take coaches speaking out publicly about it for the proper attention to be given.

 

[Jaydumo20]

I mean, take away the fact that he's the coach of an in-conference rival, and it's pure gold on its own.

 

[Kenny11]

Nice flexibility.

Hurley would rush him if he did that against us though

 

[Leebo]

Unsurprisingly, their fans like it and want him to do it more. And also it's totally not a problem / any criticism is just salt / Hurley is worse, etc.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

I think Donovan should run him over next chance he gets.

 

[jleves]

You would think an opposing coach would just tell one of his players to make some contact with him while he's on the court. Instant T.

Seems obvious, no?

I don't know, Shaka's pretty quick. He turned that guy in the clip pretty easily with no contact

 

[boog204]

I love it... KO, when he was good, did similar stuff during the NCAA run.

 

[willie99]

I was complaining about that when we played them last year. He looked and acted like a 6th defender. Certainly impacts his opponents eyesight

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Can’t wait for Cam Spencer vs Shaka Smart

 

[Rocktheworld]

I was gonna say, if I’m a player, I’m trying to run him over.

 

[Rocktheworld]

He did not do anything close to this.

 

[alexd]

It would be cool to see him run into a Clingan pick though.

 

[XLCenterFan]

Who said he hasn’t been spoken to?

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Who said he hasn’t been spoken to?

If he has been, then it was only after his last exhibition.

 

[HuskyHawk]

If Dan did this he‘d be suspended a month and fined. They’d probably punch him a few times too.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Shaka defended Scheireman pretty well on that pass

 

[RichCTBB]

He’s done this his entire career. I wouldn’t expect anyone to warn him or the referees to make it point of emphasis unless he ends up getting entangled with a player or even worse, injuring a player or impacting the outcome of a game.

The point is you warn him before entangles or injures a player not after

 

[Hunt for 7]

This topic was in another thread. I knew Smart was animated on the sidelines. I knew the refs seemed to not get as aggravated with his animation than they do with our head coach. And honestly I rewatch a lot of games and have to believe that I would have seen something this egregious if it had happened against us, but I am going to go look after I write this post. There is no way this can be allowed. Not this close to the play. I mean this is way over the top. He is putting players at risk and himself at risk just on safety issues it has to be addressed.

Our coach is an to the refs. I love it--it's hilarious. But it also isn't going to lead to favorable treatment with this stuff.

 

[RichCTBB]

Exactly, except they clearly haven’t, and likely won’t.

 

[yungdowork]

In my opinion, refs should be enforcing this out of the game. There’s no need for a coach to be on the floor in the same half that a team is running a half court set.

That being said, I wouldn’t mind giving benches a few extra feet on the sideline so coaches have some room to be animated and excited without stepping out on to the court.

 

[housekeys]

It was a moving screen on Shaka but the refs swallowed the whistle.

 

[housekeys]

I was gonna say, if I’m a player, I’m trying to run him over.

I think a sure fire way to get him a T is for a player to throw the ball really hard off him while he is in bounds. It should be interference with the ball while in play. At least, it would force the officials to take notice.

Oh look Shaka Rah-Rah is at it again.

SHOCKED, I am. SHOCKED.

Suspend this clown, Big East. Please. At least Hurley focuses his histrionics on the officials, LOL.

 

[Spaceman213J]

Nice flexibility.

This was brough up last year when he was doing similar crap in a game against UConn. I'd put Singare in for a moment and have him lean into a screen against Smart. I'd pay right now to see that.

(Can't risk any injury to Johnson at this point)

 

[Drame]

Even if there is no contact, the coach cant be on the court, practically in the middle of the play.
