Tom Izzo Out of Control

[jibsey]

It wasn’t that he went after his player for bad defense it was just that it looked like he wanted to kill him, had to be restrained by a player. getting angry is one thing but he lost it. Bad look. Yes he gets players, yes he gets results and wins but the guy seems a jerk. He’s also skated on scandal recently.

 

[Jaker]

yes, he is an assclown

 

[gtcam]

Lots of coaches are out of control for a variety of things they do to an excess or in the moment of anger
He's not the only one
But I wish MSU lost

 

[Jaker]

never saw Calhoun go after a player.

And people blame kids for being “ soft”

And people blame kids for being “ soft”

They are. Kids don't have as thick of skin as in the past. They don't take criticism well.

Going after.a player is not the reason you should feel icky about Izzo. There are far better reasons for.that.

 

[Jaker]

my kids are not soft, I beat their arses regulary, now they toss me around.

Yea UConn fans should be the last fans throwing stones about stuff like this. Didn't Hurley and an opposing player get into it this yr too?

 

[jibsey]

If you watch the Calhoun clip where is the part where a player has to hold him back from the player?

But he wins.

Calhoun: 'Sorry If People Misconstrued My Interaction With DeAndre Daniels'
UConn has reviewed an incident that took place late in the Huskies' loss at Rutgers on Saturday night when coach Jim Calhoun appeared to jab freshman DeAndre Daniels in the midsection.

Calhoun issued a statement: "I'm sorry if people misconstrued my interaction with DeAndre Daniels, made in an effort to get his attention in the final minutes of the Rutgers game. DeAndre and I have spoken about it."

Daniels, who had trouble getting the ball inbounds, called a timeout. As he walked to the bench, Calhoun, obviously incensed, got very close to him and, as SNY cameras suggest, there was contact made, though the view is blocked by players. Calhoun grabbed Daniels' shirt after the jab. Photos taken just afterward show Calhoun's fist closed.

That was a punch at Rutgers. I saw it. JC was very fortunate the cameras didn't.

This is just fun now

Jim should have bounced that ball right off Oriaki's head.

Advice for the MSU player:

Calhoun criticized for sideline behavior
We ran a photo on Tuesday of a fire-breathing coach Jim Calhoun screaming at Ryan Boatright during UConn's game against West Virginia on Monday.

Heading into a timeout early in the second half, Calhoun stomped toward Boatright and then blasted the freshman guard while standing face-to-face.

Boatright took the heat without saying a word.

It was an uncomfortable, cringe-worthy moment.

Here's what Boatright said about the situation:

"You've got two options: You can either suck it up like a man and play through it and be coachable. Or you can let it get to you and you get down on yourself and get mad and let it take you all the way out of our game.

"He's going to be coaching, no matter what. He's not going to change. It's the way you respond to it, and I responded well.

"I just knew I had to make some plays happen and play smart and he'll be happy."

Some comments from the peanut gallery, especially the last two.

Jimmy could get, um excited It didn’t matter who was in the way. I saw him drop kick the scorers table a few times with some innocent guy sitting on the other side. I’d be damn pissed if I were that guy. Don’t know if JC ever apologized.
