Most annoying players in the Big 10

#1 Aaron Craft
#2 Aaron Craft
#3 Aaron Craft

Cat scratching the sh!t out of the ballhandler until you either rake the ball away from him or poke him in the eyes is not playing great defense.

The list of BIG cagers with the "derp face" is long.
Karminski - Wis
Gasser - Wis
Della valle - OSU
Adrian Payne - MSU
Yogi Ferrel - Indiana
2 Hawkeyes that shall remain nameless
Spike Albrecht
Probably leaving out some deserving candidates.
 
Count me shocked that *everyone* isn't mentioning Craft. That little buttwipe annoys me to no end.

For coaches, Bo Ryan really rubs me the wrong way.
 
Current
1) Sheehey - still remember that dude's tomahawk jam when IU was bad, and talking afterward
2) Craft - would have been in 1st place but we beat them so I will cut him a break
3) Gallegos - for going off on Iowa when he is isn't really very good

All Time
1) Granville Waiters (cause he never seemed to graduate)
2) Scott Skiles (cocky jerk)
3) Jim Shickenjanski (got tired of announcers saying 'chicken man' when doing Goof games)

runner up Kiwane Garris (cause of that head bobbing dribbling he did when pushing the fast break)

Craft is the most annoying player in the country because he gets away with so much. He must have had 9 or 10 fouls on Sunday. I hope the Big 10 refs don't revert back to hackathon rules as that will hurt the whole league once we get in the NCAA tourney.

This is funny stuff on Mr. Craft ... Craft should have set NCAA records of the most foul outs per season but didn't !

This could easily be a psychology/sociology experiment.

White guys make up maybe half of all rotational players in the B10, if that (haven't counted, obviously), but 90% of the players named most annoying in this thread.

Anybody have any ideas on why that is?

This is really quite interesting. Any psychology/sociology folks have any input on this?
 
No love-hate for Dave Sobolewski from the Purple Flurps? Really wanted to see Zach body slam him after his football-like tackle. Fortunately Zach restrained himself at least enough to not get tossed.

My list includes every player on the team Iowa is playing next, but if I must narrow it down it would be there:

1) Aaron Craft
2) Sam Dekker
3) Ben Brust
4) Dave Sobolewski
5) Sheehey
6) Gasser

Ryan easily the most annoying coach, but tie for close second between Izzo and Crean.

When did Calipari start coaching in the B10? :)

Whoops! Didn't even catch the B1G angle:eek: In that case my top 3 (in order) are:
1. Bo Ryan (by a mile!)
2. Thad Matta
3. Tom Crean

Players:
1. Aaron Craft (no brainer)
2. Yogi Ferrel (always wants to be "the man" and hurts his team at times)
3. The mammoth fat slob that played for Nebraska last year and tried to turn it into a wrestling match (Forget name?)

Josh Gasser is slowly becoming annoying. He never commits a foul. Everytime he gets one hes whining with a stupid look on his face.

That's because his form of defense is precisely what the NCAA is trying to stop, with the new rules emphasis. The Gasser rules of defense are: #1. When (not if) you are beat by your opponents first step = arm bar and push them away from the basket or into help defense. #2. When you are screened by another player on the perimeter, grab the guy you are guarding long enough to slow him down, so you can recover or help defense gets into position. #3. When you are being screened off the ball, grab, hold or tackle your opponent but be sure the refs aren't watching. #4. Always looked shocked when a foul is called on you, long enough to get the refs attention, then proceed to look at Bo Ryan, so that he may begin to look "shocked" as well. All of this is in hopes that the ref gets the hint and stops calling you for the fouls you obviously commit.
 
It's pretty obvious what it takes to be on these polls:

1)Play for a hated rival

2)Be white

3)Be good

That's why you never see very little mention of Penn State, Nebraska and Northwestern players. I'd guess if Tim Miles started regularly beating people in the Big Ten that opposing fans would find a gazillion things they hate about him: "He's so fake, he's way too nice!!!" "Dave Sobolewski freaking fouls on every single play and he's never called for it because he's the media darling!!!!"

Did you see my post? Bo Ryan could be a cellar dweller and still be the biggest delta bravo in the country imo.
