Hurley never did this!

Hurley had a pattern of his outbursts that the media started covering.

This is one incident from a coach.

If another coach starts stacking up multiple instances the way Hurley did at a point then the media should for sure cover it the same way.

Hurley has been a million times better this year thankfully and our team is even better for it.

One incident yes, but he looked pretty psychotic. Hurley also never hit a kid with a water bottle.

What's infuriating for the coach, and why his rage is justified (though not physically charging an official), is:
1) Neither of the first two swipes were called, while the third, with about equivalent levels of contact, was
2) The third foul was considered to be in the act of shooting, with a very generous interpretation of continuation
3) They originally (correctly) changed the call, before changing it back, adding further insult

I hear you and I’d definitely be pissed if the same thing happened to UConn. I do think the defender did a horrible job of fouling earlier. The first swipe made marginal contact to the hand. Probably not called in normal game action but generally gets called when the team is clearly trying to foul. The second swipe he grazed the jersey (didn’t grab anything) and is not a foul ever. The defender got off balance and did a really bad job of fouling.

That said, I’m actually curious on the argument that it shouldn’t have been an and-1. The offensive player had picked up his dribble when contact occurred on the third swipe, did not jump stop, and only took one step after the contact and before the shot. Im struggling to understand the argument (taking away the earlier contact), that it shouldn’t have been continuation.

let's agree that the officiating is about as bad as it can get

Yes, the officiating is pretty bad. But let’s call it the way it’s going to be seen. We excuse it when it’s old money that is at the current time part of the power structure.

Did you actually watch that replay? Where exactly does #2 on Notre Dame actually touch Ames on California as he goes into the act of shooting? He barely touches Ames, if he touches him at all. He doesn't impede Ames in any way from beginning to end while he gathers himself and then shoots. He obviously tries to grab him right before and right after midcourt, but that was not during the shooting process.

You are totally wrong to say it was the correct call. That was not a foul... and the only reason the ref made the call is that he was positioned about 2 feet too far into the front court, and therefore he had a bad angle and assumed the contact instead of actually seeing it.

I have no idea what you are seeing in that replay that suggests otherwise. So yes, it was a terrible call.

There were a couple of things going on and each needs to be viewed individually.

1) the officials made a questionable call, reversed it, then reversed it again.

2) the head coach needed to be physically restrained to prevent him from attacking an official (which, when one attacks out of anger often leads to far more damage than intended).

However wrong the first item may have been, the second never should have transpired, period, end of story.

Right here. The Notre Dame defender is pushing him as he's in his shooting motion

You never hear about repercussions for the refs. It would be nice to hear a statement from the NCAA saying 'the ref blew the call which affected the outcome of the game. They have been suspended and will not officiate until they have received the proper training to prevent this from happening again. We apologize to Notre Dame, the players and HC Micah Shrewsberry'.

The call was so insanely bad and instead we get 'lol Micah Shrewsberry is crazy!' even when this could have bubble implications in a few months.

this is why the refs need to meet with the press after every game IF there is anything from the reporters end to discuss.
Players and coaches answer, why not refs?
This is why they feel untouchable.

I feel just as sorry for ND here as I felt sorry for their football team getting left out of the CFP, take a wild guess how sorry I feel for them.

Could care less maybe Terry D cares
 
it was the correct call, he extended his arm and pushed him as he was gathering to shoot. Notre dame didn’t deserve to win after winning when scoring 47 points the last game…..yikes
 
To me it looks like Shrewsberry was doing one of those hold me back deals because he knew he couldn't actually physically attack the ref. I don't think that player's one arm is going to stop the charging coach. I see the humor in situations

 
What did I miss? I thought that was Rick Majerus just being told that the buffet was about to close

I'm not shocked at Shrewsbury getting angry, but I am shocked at the number of objective UConn fans getting mad about a clear and obvious foul. If that went against UConn there would 3,000 posts in the first hour and a Congressional appeal filed to fire all referees involved
Expand ...

And yet, we're on the short end of free throw disparities every game until maybe the sweet sixteen

We obviously foul more than any team in the country, and when we see the shirts coming off our cutters on offense it's an optical allusion
 
I didn't think it had to be said when I made my initial comment, but watching the game, the refs ignored not 1 but 2 fouls that ND was giving before. It is terrible to let the earlier 2 grabs go and then call the lightest contact. You don't have to be in the act of shooting for a foul to occur and the refs should know the situation as well.

when did the NBE suspend anyone?

Cooley was suspended by Georgetown which the NBE accepted. But let’s be honest, against Coppin State is no punishment whatsoever. If Hurley threw a bottle tomorrow he would be gone 2-3 games.
