Ollie - 1st Technical

[Perspective]

Reminds me of the scene in Goodfellas when the protagonist is arrested for the 1st time.

Welcome aboard Coach Ollie.

That should be an offensive foul on Melvin.

That should be an offensive foul on Melvin.

And why wasn't it? Because of Ollie's tech. They are going to give him the business now.

This is probably why KO has avoided it all year.

I think I remember Calhoun getting one when he coached.

Always good to witness someone losing their virginity.

Well...........I. don't know if I like witnessing a dude lose his virginity. Now a coach losing his technical foul virginity - priceless.

 

[Tenspro2002]

It was a pretty weak one. He looked surprised and almost apologetic afterward.

Oh well, he'll get better.

You know women lose their virginity, which used to be special. Witnessing a dude, well I never thought about that sexually.

Sorry, my bad. We were referring to KO.

 

[BoatShow]

Should ask the ref for the whistle. Proud of KO.

 

[RichZ]

How is that NOT a flagrant. He made no attempt on the ball and took DD's legs out.

 

[BoatShow]

They were probably only reviewing to see if Bazz threw a punch.

about that....

 

[patrick]

He popped his cherry!!

 

[Palatine]

Yeah, but it didn't seem to help. If you are going to get Teed up, it should influence the refs. He still doesn't know how to use a Tee.

 

[CL82]

Agreed. After they T you up it's like bonus time. You can get some licks in for free. No point in taking advantage of it.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

I am surprised it took this long. I figured he would want to get that out of the way a little sooner. I am fine with the T by the way. Ollie had to make it clear that just because he is a first year HC they can only go so far.

Never happened. Calhoun was a lapdog to the officials and a champion of the cause of protecting scorer's tables.

 

[DMW88]

KO will figure it out...I think refs will respect him, but not sure he'll 'use' the T like JC did!

 

[dsturdy5]

From what I could tell, the technical was for being out of the coach's box, not for something he said. He didn't even think he earned it. You could see him saying, "Then just tell me to get back." Blaney was right by his side arguing it too. Miller was later talking to an official during a timeout pointing to the line on the court, likely talking about the T. This is a call you rarely see, especially this late in the season. Normally it comes up during the early games and exhibition season just as a reminder that there is a box you are supposed to stay confined to.

It was probably a matter of an official trying to enforce a rule on a rookie coach to keep him in line in future years before he becomes too much of a headache. Not sure it will make a difference.

He was pissed at the way Boat was being played like a ping pong ball dow the other end trying to get to the hole and when I heard the whistle out of nowhere I was like a proud daddy.......it was like my son's first hoop on a 10ft basket at 4'11" lol..........

Actually he had a new stare which was impressive, not the "c'mon man" stare......it was the new KO GLARE which had a little JC in it.......as far as that play on the little man (who is a hack by the way) that's as dangerous as it gets in basketball and the referee's are pu**ies not to call that a flagrant - he has his back to the offensive player and walks into him already in flight backwards - wtf else does he think can happen......Bazz should have decked the little pr*ck!!! No place for that on the basketball court ever!

 

[Chief00]

There were words in JC's vocabulary not found in the dictionary - KO chooses not to use those words.

To each their own.......KO is beginning to use some he wishes not to though, not hard to read lips on occasion!

From Duffy's notebook:

*If you bet the 26th game for Ollie’s first technical, you’re the winner (for the record, I had the second Big East game of next season). Ollie was T’d up about midway through the first half Saturday.
“I was almost at the halfcourt line — I don’t know why my assistant coaches didn’t grab me back, so I’m blaming them,” Ollie joked afterwards. “…(The referee) had to do it, I was way out there. I lost my mind for a second.”
Napier “congratulated” Ollie on the technical.
“I said, ‘give it up for coach Ollie, he got his first technical. He’s on his way to being coach Calhoun,’” Napier said with a laugh.

It appears he was arguing some calls but it was because of where he was, not what he said. Love what Bazz had to say.

Holy what an awful call then..........has the idiot ever watched Cronin, Pitino and Buzz (the worst)? They play defense sometimes they are so far on the court..........
