msu wins

[UnderParPanther]

man, watching their reactions you'd have thought they just won a national championship...that turned into a great game, kyles played really well the 2nd half.

i'm pretty darn sure martin never went over and shook marshall's hand after the game either as marshall looked like he was waiting around for that and then sent his players off w/o the handshake line...no big deal as they just won the mvc, but i think we were talking about martin's postgame actions before

Re: msu wins

Their first ever MVC regular season title, I'd say that's a pretty big deal.

Re: msu wins

Yea, Martin is a total dbag. I rewound it and Marshall went over to shake hands and Martin was too busy screaming his head off. MSU assistants were out to shake hands at least. It's pretty sad when the head coach needs to take pointers from his assistants. Not to mention the MSU players chest pumping and screaming all game too.

The day I get my knickers in a bunch about opposing coaches and players celebrating a huge win for a regular season conference championship is the day I stop watching college basketball.

Martin is a emotional fiery guy, sure. And since he beat cancer a few years ago I don't begrudge him in the slightest for that. If in fact he didn't shake Marshall's hand hopefully he did it behind the scenes this afternoon after the game or gave him a call.

Now if he went over and started dry-humping the Shocker mascot or something I would call him classless.

Re: msu wins

Total lack of class on Martin's part. Nothing new and no, beating cancer doesn't get him off the hook. Glad he did, obviously, but show some class.

Knickers in a bunch huh? First off, I'm just saying it like I call it, I'm not going out of my way to trash the guy. I was on the forum here and there was a thread started and I put in my two cents, it's not like I'm about to start cuonzomartinisclassless.com. Second, I really don't care if he's an emotional guy, and the fact that he beat cancer has absolutely nothing to do with it. Teams win huge games all the time, especially this time of year. Show a little respect, just 30 seconds to shake hands, then celebrate - it's that simple. Personally, I think it (and his other postgame stuff that's been talked about on here) makes him look like a joke, and makes the program look bad. If Coach Jake did anything close to that, I'd be embarrassed.

Plus, the lack of discipline almost cost MSU a T with about 10 seconds left when the refs had to go down and get half the team who were on the opposite side of the court screaming at the student section, flapping their arms rather than heading to the line to shoot FTs. Now that would have been hilarious.

Re: msu wins

The Bears need to win in the Lou to make the dance, I don't mind celebrating a conference title but when you have a team that you will probably have to beat again to win the conference tourney I think they could have made wiser choices when celebrating their title.

Re: msu wins

You are all expecting them to act like they have been there before but guess what - they never have!!!!

Party up MSU you deserve it!!

Great season!

Re: msu wins

Anyone who can coach against Gregg Marshall and look like the obnoxious one, needs to work on his sideline behavior.

Re: msu wins

To each their own...I stand by everything I wrote and I have absolutely no problems with anyone showing emotion, whether it's our guys or MSU.

If he had rubbed his crotch in front of the Wichita State bench or something like that, yes, that would be classless. IMO, hugging his staff/players and in general acting like he had just won the biggest game of his life (which he had), does not make one classless.

Who cares ... can't stand either coach

If we keep winning in St. Louis more than likely we would face Mc$, then Martin, then Marshall, what a trifector that would be.

Actually, since you put it in print, I think you do have to start it...

Re: msu wins

Also, I agree with CyCarp & r54... You HAVE to take the 30 seconds to go shake the other coaches'/player's hands. That's just sportsmanship, no matter what level, and the other coach(es) will probably congratulate you and whatnot. But once you do that, then it's time to party for sure. Possibly even like it's 1999!

Re: msu wins

How anyone can not like Martin is beyond me. He doesn't whine at the refs ever, he has NEVER gotten a T in his 3 seasons at MSU.

I do agree though, wish he had gone over to shake Marshall's hand.
