Has the TCU coach been t’d up yet, or has he suddenly started staying off the floor? It will be interesting to see Saturday what he is allowed to do.
Coaches getting Technicals

Haha, when I read the first sentence I thought you were suggesting that he be T'd up for Saturdays game preemptively. Well... might as well get this out of the way ahead of time.
Part of controlling a game as an official is making sure that coaches and players alike have a chance to be heard. Sports are emotional and allowing participants a controlled opportunity to vent and be heard helps to keep things from boiling over and getting out of control.
I only officiated for a short time, but I welcomed constructive criticism and a coach pointing out something that I might be missing and I should watch out for. After all, officials are also participants in the game and they want to have their best performance every night just like everyone else.
And are watching everything at full speed, can only see certain angles, and don't have instant replay except in certain circumstances. That concludes all the nice things I have to say about them
is the Hollywood Higgins’s technical magic still good or do we need to honor another ref pregame to refill the tank?
Self is a tactician with his T's so I hardly count him.
Not only have the other ones been weird but they seemed to be a detriment to their team and badly timed.
TJ is constantly talking to the refs even if he's not freaking out and I'm fine with him not doing the same thing as these counterparts.

I like that our defense is frustrating opposing coaches so much that they get a technical.
I've become the same way. Take Fran for example. You could not act like he does in any other sector of society and keep your job. There's nothing unique to sports that should allow you to be an absolute ***hole. Losing your mind because you think you saw a foul standing 40 feet away from the action is childish ****.
I get it with fans. They're doing their part to try impact the game. But you can't tell me TJ being willing to have reasoned, adult conversations with refs doesn't earn us some calls over the long run.
I didn't think he should have been bounced either until I read the memo., If you read the memo, he was told to quit it at least three times before he got bounced. Gotta listen sometime.
I'm glad they are finally doing something. For years some of these coaches would be way out of the coaching box and on the floor while the game was going on and you have guys like Self and Huggins that constantly ride the refs when calls aren't going their way and basically intimidating them. Was glad when Self got his T in Hilton because in years past he would keep hounding the refs trying to stop our momentum and once he got that he settled down.
Petition to rename the thread "The Curse of Cyclone Jim Carrey" as @brentblum mentioned in his podcast today.
Jamie Dixon coming into Hilton on Saturday, odds are great the streak continues.

Hopefully he loses it so bad that he displaces his combover. Hey, Jamie, you aren't fooling anyone with that combover. I'll bet that front hair hangs down to his chin in the shower.
I always said when Weber was around that if I were coaching, I would run plays specifically designed to run into him when he was out on the court. Once the ball passes midcourt, there is no reason to allow any of these coaches to be an inch on the floor. Especially when, imo, they were intentionally doing it to disrupt the other team.
BYU coach got a technical last night in the second half and it turned his team around.
He was legitimately pointing out that a non-call on the Baylor defense was a lot worse that the call against RYU on Baylor's end. The coach was right, but he got the tech, and then BYU just starting draining 3's.

Usually somewhere between the 12 and 8 minute mark of the 1st half. He will go get one, and then usually things start going KU's way. Absolutely a tactic he uses. And he usually does it when the opponent already has the ball, so that saves a possession. Just a master of the deliberate T.
I've never paid attention to this, but that's pretty smart to be thinking that way.
The technicals are coming because the Big 12 refs have lost control of the game this year. It's by far the most physical conference and a lot of the times looks more like a football game. I think 3 coaches have already been thrown and and all three either had never been thrown out before or haven't in the last couple of decades. Hopefully our teams will be able to adjust in the tourney where they will probably see a much quicker whistle.
