Mr. Technical Foul

01Neaggrad02 said:
When watching UCONN play as of late I keep thinking of the Adam Sandler movie 8 Crazy Nights. What is up with Andre Jackson receiving T's the last two games for taunting the bench of the opposing team after he hits a three? I hope he can grow out of this. That was two points we could have had when the game was close.

Yea he is a competitor, I could never stand a player doing that. It is up to his Coach to make him stop after the fist technical ! Calhoun would not allow that. Take control of your team !
 
We're not going unbeaten. That officiating was an absolute joke, especially all the offensive foul calls on us

Just pathetic

We get them again, all we need is a 50/50 game. After the last two games, maybe Hurley felt like he needs to bring some attention to incompetent officiating

Congrats X, enjoy your season
 
I hate when coaches get technical fouls. It used to drive me crazy with Calhoun too. It rarely motivates the team, you're giving away points and if anything pissing off the refs more. Control your emotions. The opponent doesn't need any help.

There are times when a calculated T is fine. Calhoun was good at that. Hurley unfortunately does it when he can't control his emotions. I don't think his Ts are calculated.

Yeah true. Calhoun would get T’d up on a teams first big run and then we would respond accordingly. Haven’t seen Hurley do something like that
 
Well, here’s Hurley’s postgame quote on the T: “I wish I didn’t say unbelievable.”
discrepancy was 9 to 28. So he did not swear at the ref or use any other invective. No way he should be T’ed up for saying that.

How can I stop that? Hmmmmmm. You have one of the deepest benches in college basketball - maybe bench him? The man knows a lot about basketball and nothing about leadership. Literally nothing. He knows he can’t control his own temper so how can he expect his players to? Be accountable for your players, lead by example. There is more to the job than X’s and O’s.

He has now clue how to work the refs which is shocking for someone who has been a head coach for so long. It's a major problem.

Hurley T was icing on cake but Uconn settled for a lot of 3s, didn't try and draw fouls and committed boneheaded turnovers- lot of Newton driving or jumping with no plan where to go and throwing it away. Surprisingly despite all that UConn was right there. Had a few of those 3s we shot gone in, could have survived. The 'T" there was inexcusable but Xavier played about as well as they could and we never looked comfortable out there. The game against Providence will say a lot. The guard play has to be better though.

To each his own. Sorry that I'm frustrated with Dan Hurley. So much hypersensitivity on here from the folks that just want to pat themselves on the back all day about our 14-1 record. I expect more from our coach. There are 100s of headlines out there today talking about our hot head coach. It's an embarrassment to the school, 14-1 or 1-14. I tend to post when things get emotional and controversial - I don't need to post 13k times, but congrats to you my friend!

We are 14-1 Ranked #2 and have a top 5 class coming next season. This because of not in spite of Coach Hurley

And still a national embarrassment - thanks for furthering my point about making the job only about the numbers. Bob McKillop: "Statistics are like bikini's, they show a lot but they don't show everything".

It's easy to keep your composure when every win is by double digits. None of what you're saying matters if he can't lead in crunch time. He needs to change - deny it all you want, but it's been going on a long time. If Vegas would put out a prop bet on him getting T'd up at the Amp this week, I'd hammer it. Although I do think we go in po'd and hammer the friars.
 
Bob Huggins with an apparent contrast to Hurley re: a technical foul after 3 made 3's.

“Erik gets incredibly stupid again and basically costs us the game,” said Huggins following the game with WVU play-by-play caller Tony Caridi.

Huggins later added, “We can’t have one guy changing the game the way he’s changed the game, and I love the kid, I do, and I wish him nothing but the best, but he hurts our team when he does that, and you don’t have that right. I don’t care who you are, what you are, or what you think you are, you don’t have that right. To hurt your team, to hurt your teammates, you don’t have the right. For what? Look at me, look at me. Who cares about you? Do what you’re supposed to do.

He's a competitor. When 5-6 guys are screaming that you can't make a shot, and then you make the shot....

He's responding to taunts from the bench, he's not just talking to them on his own. He needs to do a better job, but the refs need to start warning benches, or stop penalizing the respondent and not the initiator.

Absolutely right that need to call the taunting both ways. In fact. Andre doesn’t initiate it. We are just in a really bad place with Big East / ACC officials right now. We are literally getting hammered with calls with a thumb on the scale of justice. Things need to get fixed ASAP.

Calhoun had a rule, he was the only one who should ever get a technical.

""You know, it's hard, because when you're a player and the other team is yelling when you have the ball, 'Under!,' [and] 'Non-shooter!', when you have his make-up, it's tough because he's the most competitive person you'll ever meet.”"

Andre wouldn't take it personally if he knew he could shoot. He's a tough kid and has (hopefully) learned an important lesson. We won both games, so it was a good spot to learn it.

I still don't think bench taunting or the other way around should be a technical unless the kids are dropping f-bombs or starting a fight. Clapping back after someone yells "under!" is all a part of the game in my book.

Disagree, if you are going to let dudes on the opposing bench taunt Andre all game, it is fair for Andre to return it after he makes a shot. I don’t recommend him doing it but it is unfair to call it one way only.
 
I know this thread is a month old, but I didn’t see it a month ago and it did catch my eye today.

I assumed it was about Hurley whose latest T did cost us the last game, our only loss of the season. That was disgraceful. It’s like he has no self-control. If he can’t control himself, how can he expect his players to be disciplined?

And where is all that anger coming from? Was he beaten as a child?

Reaurrecting a month-old thread to conjecture our coach was beaten as a child. Oh Boneyard, how I cherish thee.

In a different thread, a Providence fan - who openly shares his fan loyalty in this forum - pluralized "malapropism" with an apostrophe.

Irrespective of search results that incorrectly quote McKillop, who are you making look bad when you repeat the error?
