Ted wasn't the official who called the t
No. But Valentine is an asshat who allowed far too much contact previously, leading to the T, IMHO.

Wisconsin has to make up for their lack of athleticism by going over the back, pushing off, crying about every call that doesn't go their way, saying "and one" every time they go up for a layup, and trying to stop our fast break by throwing the ball away/to the ref after a made basket. I'm sure there is more, but the refs need to be watching for some of these things in Carver because it's getting old.
I understand the T call, but we were getting harder forearms in our backs on every rebound and they were rarely called.
The T was absolutely the correct call. Take your hawk blinders off if you think otherwise.

Good breakdown.
Did you not watch the game or something?Good breakdown.
There was nothing malicious about the "nudge" yet he T'd him up without hesitation. This isn't the NBA where a technical foul is basically meaningless. Not only do you get 2 shots but you get the ball back. The score went from 11 to 5 just like that. If you are going to call a T in the final minutes of a game you better make sure it is worthy of one. That wasn't by any stretch.
It was unsportsmanlike and not in the course of play.
TweeterHawk:I am concerned about the tech foul. The team is taking the personality of its coach for better and perhaps for the worse. If marble doesnt hit those big shots and iowa losses this game, what would the threads be about this am?
I like the fire but you cant win games by giving teams 6 point trips in the last frame
I like most here am thrilled for this win and am hoping this leads to a strong showing in league play
Discipline is as important as fire
If this game was a loss, fran would be getting killed here
Thank you devyn
Fran this team is following you well done niw tighten the reigns on yourself the team will follow too
Very nice post, I like point number 3. Fran handled it well. Looked like he said something like, Good Foul, to Mel on the sideline.....Hated to see the Tech.... but glad to see the emotion of we are not going to continue to be your punching bag. We are developing a 'tough' mindset which is very much needed in order to change the mindset of the program and league about us.
I do like several elements of the response to the tech;;;
# 1 We did not fold up our tents
# 2 Basabee realized his mistake immediately - did not argue/pout making it worse
# 3 Fran did not read him the riot act (coach does a good job of knowing when to scold and when to back-off). I felt like an over-reaction by Fran could have forced the kids to lose their compsure.
Really impressive game/win considering....
- We lost an early lead
- We got down by 8 after the start of the second half
- We lost 6 points via the Basabee foul/technical
- Gatens loses the ball in the 2 foul situation
Yep....I agree with ATLHawk...it appeared to me that the Wisky player came across Melsahn's face "unintentionally" and he reacted with a bit of reflex.
Positively excellent, Sportstalent.....Okay, here is the question of the day:
Can Melsahn do anything one way or the other and not get ripped?
I was cursing him when it happened, yeah, but he realized the mistake he made instantly. It came at the worst time when Iowa had total control of the game.
Here is the thing, Mel had his fourth foul after that happened, did anyone see how hard he played from that point to end the game. He stepped up on the block and in rebounding. Go back and watch his relentlessness down the stretch, not to say he wasn't the whole game. Just look at the last play when he blocked out two Wisconsin guys to end the game.
Yeah, it really was an ignorant play because that type of call is going to go against you 99 out of 100 times on the road.
The fact is, Iowa came back and didn't fold, this is a direct reflection of Fran, so I love the fact that the team is taking his personality. Also, it isn't like this is something that happens frequently, so until a pattern develops, let it go.
There was and adverse situation in a hostile environment and the Iowa team showed its Character.
Eddy is simply telling the truth....Yes and I concur with what the great EddyP said. O and by the way we won.
