It's possible the T made the refs not call a foul when Perkins stole the ball at the end of regulation before the game tying 3. It's also possible the blown call at the end of the Purdue game played a part in that no call. I'm not saying Perkins did foul there. I'm just saying officials normally auto call a foul in that situation.You can't get a tech in the last five minutes of a tight game. Those points off free throws may have been the difference tonight
I think it absolutely did that. I also thought the refs did him a solid and didn't T him up a 2nd time. Which tells you that the refs knew Fran was in the right. Fran was out there in the middle of the court mean mugging longer then he shoulda been I thought but glad they didn't T him up again.It’s also possible that the T sparked a tired team to force the game to overtime. The fact that Iowa got it to overtime means that the T absolutely had no impact on the game. Home dumb and lazy is the T cost Iowa take when it factually did not. There’s no argument that can say it did. It didn’t, Iowa tied the game after that to force an extra 5 minutes of playing time in game that looked lost before the T.
There's a method to his madness. He doesn't just do it because he's pissed off. I mean or else why wouldn't he do it literally every game before halftime? He does it strategically I think for when he really thinks his guys are getting screwed over and or when he wants to put a fire in the belly of his guys. It's usually double meaning sort of thing.Fran's a psycho I get it, he goes at the refs...but I personally love it. He is the exact fire I want as a HC
His T was very tame. He made a mad face. Oh no. Let's not make him out to be Juwan Howard, Mickey Joseph or Chris Beard.
Beard has probably coached his last game. He is looking at felony chargesFran's a psycho I get it, he goes at the refs...but I personally love it. He is the exact fire I want as a HC

And Perkins missed free throw...was hugeYou can't get a tech in the last five minutes of a tight game. Those points off free throws may have been the difference tonight
And as much as we talk about foul calls balance out, go both ways, etc., tagging Wisc for the flagrant 1 on Rebraca's chin music would have affected the dynamics of the game. That kid probably would have had to play a little differently the rest of the game. That's bigger than simply picking up another foul.I had no issue with Fran getting T'ed up. The refs were letting Wisky get away with murder the entire game. The announcer kid from Purdue was even commenting on the bad calls, especially the elbow to the face call.
Fran got his point across. He got his team fired up. They came back and damn near won the game playing only walkons and family members. That loss was not on Fran or the T.
God Huck, I hope you are right. Heading down to Lincoln in a few weeks. I've been down there at least a dozen times since they joined the BT and I think I've only witnessed 1 win. And we've had some great teams and they've had some that probably shouldn't be playing D1 basketball. This year they are decent, could be close to a Q1 game by then.We will beat PSU and Nebr.
