Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

The whole Bohannon shtick about the refs having it out for Iowa and having some sort of vendetta against Fran is so annoying. If you act like a complete ass hat around someone for a decade you might have to face some consequences

There are multiple layers to this:

A) Would you blame them? When you act like a total lunatic I don't think it's out of line to have a quick hook.

B) I'd challenge JBo to show me once instance where Fran received a technical that wasn't deserved.

C) Can you imagine if this were the precedent? Certain refs shouldn't be assigned to certain games because they don't like the coach. Ok-- so just piss off every bad ref in the league?

JBo ranting about things being rigged shows the mental weakness of that program and shows why they haven't accomplished ****. They follow their coach's lead on making everything the fault of everyone else. No wonder the melt away at the first sign of pressure.

Imagine being a 60 year old man who needs to be restrained from attacking a referee. Just absolutely absurd
Gonna be 64 in a couple months. We're creeping into social security age as a comparison for what his temperament should be.
 
Fran should worry more on how to teach his players to play better defense than berating the officials
 
12 years of acting like a child and belittling officials
Clearly these officials have it out for Fran!
Lol


So Iowa only wants to play with non-Wilson basketballs, don't want to play in arenas that double as hockey rinks, don't want to travel very far in the NCAA tournaments after playing in the B10 tournament and NOW they want to dictate who refs their games?

Fran's like the Wish.com version of Liam Neeson's character from Taken, except instead of cutting a swath of destruction through the Russian Mafia, he's finishing runner up in the Emerald Coast Classic.

When the NW player was setting up to shoot his free throws, Pat turned back and started chirping to the ref. Once the player has the ball you can't make motions or yell in attempt to distract him. Basically Pat got T'd up for being a dip sh!t.

It looks like, as an amateur lip reader, PMac is being truthful in that all he said was "That is so bad" to the referee. But you can't demonstrably talk/yell during the act of a free throw to mess with the opponent...

They also claimed that they got a raw deal by being matched up against Richmond in last year's NCAA tournament. Richmond finished 6th in the Atlantic 10 conference, but still managed to send Iowa home before half of the tournament teams even played their first game.
 
Lucky Michigan guy fouled a 3 point shooter up 4 with 20-ish seconds left. That loss would probably have them near the wrong end of the bubble.
Yep, was lucky to pull that one out for sure. Same goes for the Indiana game too.

2:46 it starts to happen
2:46:30 Bobby says "hold him back guys"
2:46:50 you can hear a woman screaming "you ******* suck" over and over behind Dolph.

I heard the woman behind the bench screaming "You f***ing suck! You f***ing suck!", but I couldn't make out what she screamed after that. Any audio experts out there who can isolate her from the crowd and transcribe the whole thing?
