James Breeding

The truth is, he would look like a whiny little bitch if his first press conference was to complain about refs. Hurley is learning.

Yep. Literally no upside for him. Don’t think pissing Breeding off even more than he already is at Hurley is the way to go.

That's kind of my point to people who keeps saying, "a coach has to work the refs. He's gotta work the refs."

There is never a positive benefit in "working the refs. "

Coaches need the refs to like and respect them, not to hate them. And no respectable ref has ever feared a coach's wrath.

Nobody is ever gettting anywhere with that guy, so they have to try and win despite his presence when they unfortunately are stuck with him. And they very nearly did last night.

I haven't read through all the posts yet, but does anyone have any idea how many calls against UConn Breeding called?

Counterpoint: Hurley is the face of the sport and if he makes a calm and factual statement of objection specifically about Breeding, he can bring attention to it. Say multiple times they won we lost BUT there’s an issue with this ref, etc etc and “I just wish anger and bias to me wouldn’t affect my players so badly.”

Maybe Dan genuinely likes James but thinks he’s a bad ref so he doesn’t want to say anything. But he’s the big name of the 2 guys, the ref already sucks, how much worse can it get? Say something and call out ncaa/big east and see what happens.

I didn't say he should complain about the refs. Plenty of other folks are doing that for him. He even jokingly asked if he would get fined for saying something. All I said is that it was complete sarcasm. The beauty is casual fans don't get it.

Non-call was the right call there, but despite Michigan’s whining it was closer to a charge than a block. Reibe had position first, was in a legal guarding position and never reached in with his hands. The contact, which was pretty clearly incidental, started with Cadeau running into Reibe’s chest.

Cadeau also obviously traveled on that play in his attempt to body up & draw contact with Reibe, then flop and flail around like a fish on a riverbank.

OF course, crickets from the incompetent zebra clowns watching the play unfold.

Vegas also was going to get absolutely wrecked if UConn won… just saying

It's Cowherd. That alone discredits anything said.
