Iowa apologizes for court storming

[Hawkboys]

I read this as "Iowa apologizes to Hoiberg for causing the world to see how much of a jack-wagon he is deep down!"

If you look closer he misses the kid with the phone and accidentally smacks Iowa's video guy (dude with the clipboard who did nothing) upside the head. That's who he grabs afterwards and pulls by the shirt. That's the problem with trying to use your hands like that. Yeah the phone kid is a douche, but hoiberg has to control himself better.

Yes and no. He did hit the Iowa dude by accident and grabbed his shirt, but it was clearly to apologize for the stray shot. He was pointing out to that guy what happened and the Iowa guy seems just fine and understood the situation. That is me reading into what I see, but I don't see any issues with that guy.

In the end, Fred lost his cool. He has been doing this a long time and this is not his first court storming. Show some class. You are the face of your program. He would not one of his players doing that same thing I hope.

It's just a bad look. Even being an accident he looks like a doucher who can't control himself.

Totally agree.

That all said, we had Fran for 15 years, so.....

But everybody knew what Fran was

I would have upgraded it to a flagrant 1.

I have not seen the video but it was a tough emotional game and taunting the players and coaches as they leave the floor is not something I endorse. I like beating Nebraska more than anyone except Iowa State and I would be giving the team a standing ovation from the srands
Like I said I am not a Nebraska fan and always route for anyone they are playing but I think Hoiberg is a pretty classy coach. I listened to his pregame interview with Dolph and he was very complimentary of Iowa. As far as Sandfort going to Nebraska he always wanted to go there. He was a Bebraska fan and also went to Iowa State camps when Hoiberg was there. He went to Iowa to play with his brother

I like him because he was a good T-Wolf for a couple years (career cut short by aortic aneurysm) and then a well-liked exec after that.

I get that Fred is the professional in this case and held to a higher standard, but the kid with a phone was being a dick and deserved to be swiped at.

I've never had anything against Fred, other than the teams he's played for/coached, but he lost me on this one. If he'd have just shut up about it, it would have stayed in his favor. This lame ass excuse made me roll my eyes to say the least.

From espn.com:

Hoiberg said he fully relies on a pacemaker. He said his reaction stemmed from awareness that close contact with cellphones can interfere with the heart device.

"I am 100% reliant on a pacemaker," Hoiberg said. "I'll never forget a conversation with my doctor. A cellphone can put it off. If anything ever happens, I'm done. I will not survive if something ever happens to a pacemaker. I'm very cognizant of that, so when somebody rushes up on me with a cellphone, of course I'm going to react."

Hoiberg talked about incident he said not against court storming but not in line where handshakes are going on. He kind of alluded to the emotional nature of the game. Said he apologized to guy he accidentally hit and talked to him next day and guy told him all good and he would have reacted similarly. Also said he has to be careful with his pacemaker as cell phones can create problems? Check out the YouTube piece.

Hey Nebraska ain’t used to teams storming court. They have been too bad for long time for anyone to get that excited about beating them

Am I lead to believe that one Frederick Hoiberg NEVER used a mobile phone of any kind or any variety? If that is true, MAYBE I feel a bit different here. Maybe. But I find that a bit hard to believe.

Yeah that’s a little sketch right there. He had enough time to think of something better.
