Investigation?

Re: Investigation?

Marble is the only one athletic enough to avoid his defender as he makes a move...the rest of Iowa's roster just tries to go through their defender....

this is exactly my point. i think you follow. just making sure.

Re: Investigation?

what in the **** do you think? i love "LINK OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN!!" guy.

90% of people ive talked to think the refs were terrible, this includes coaches, beat writers, dudes that called the game, former players from both teams, iowa fans, panther fans, state media, local media, the list goes on...

i think the refs were bad, but not necessarily biased. i have been very clear that i felt like iowas style played right into what UNI tries to do and for someone that has seen UNI three times previously Fran sure did a crappy job of preparing his team.

anyways, my point was that the perception out there is undoubtedly one that thinks the refs sucked no matter whose side you are on.

I've heard more Iowa fans complain about the rude/awful UNI fans @ the game than the officiating...

It's a beautiful thing to see Sonnen draw a charge...what's the school record?

Re: Investigation?

The NCAA would never come out about an investigation. They handle everything on the inside with officials. They would never make it public, if there was a situation or an issue, these guys will get a nice talking to from their assigner and also probably the top dog at the NCAA for basketball officials.

Being an NCAA official its not easy and everything you do is on video tape and you can't hide from it. IF you have a bad game, they usually "ding" ya and you get a mark on your resume. If you collect enough dings, they usually do not assign you to big games and they eventually try to weed you out. Its not a fun profession that's for sure.

The NCAA doesn't really "investigate" officials at all. They evaluate them for consideration in the NCAA tournament, but they don't assign or take away regular season games --- that is all up to the conference assignors.

Re: Investigation?

whats great about sonnen is that he's no one trick pony. he would be a great defender even if he weren't a charge magnet.

Ha! This all started from a femal hawkeye fan commenting on my FB status.

Haha!

That's as funny as starting a thread about balancing a checkbook based on comments by a US congressman!!

But really she claimed Iowa was calling for an investigation of the officiating but both schools had to request it. And UNI didn't deserve the privilage of playing Iowa since they didn't also request said investigation.

Sorry I brought up a discussion on a message board. I thought that's what message boards were for. Plus... I really was curious if anyone else had heard this.

Re: Investigation?

The only investigation that needs to place is Fran's behavior and antics. They were shamefull. The fact that the fan base and media that covers Iowa refuse to look at Fran's role make them look even smalled that they are. When you get you a$$ whipped take it like an adult and figue out how to close the gap. I fot wish Fran a long career at Iowa because they never approach what we have here.

Re: Investigation?

You have never seen a coach get ejected? I mean it happens regularly in sports, just wondering what the big deal is? Hell the old coach from ISU (NATTY LITE GUY) about ran all over the floor during the Elite 8.

Coaches get upset and get ejected. Its sports, i mean if you haven't seen it. I would much rather have a coach get ejected, than a freaking player punching someone like in the Cinci Game.

fran is somewhat volatile but the reality is that most coaches are closer to Fran than Jake. consider us lucky.

a dude from my high school team got kicked out of practice once and on the way out he screamed at our coach "youve got a Bobby Knight temper but an Eldon Miller record!!!!". mega LOL's about 15 years before the LOL was invented.

While everyone would certainly agree with your last sentiment, no, college coaches do not get ejected regularly. And usually when it happens, it's a big deal. When was the last time a UNI coach was ejected? I can't remember it. Certainly never with Jake and Mac. I don't think Weaver was ever ejected, and I doubt Eldon Miller or Jim Berry ever got tossed either.

From your perspective, when was the last time an Iowa coach was ejected? Lute Olson?

Re: Investigation?

college coaches do not get ejected much, but when they do its fairly common for a cop to come out on the court at a road game. its usually for their own safety.

Can't argue with that...Hok fan

Now THAT is funny.

I thought it was a requirement, I can't remember seeing an ejected coach not get escorted by security at the college/pro level. Although it's not as though I've seen a ton of ejections either.

So I'm curious, which part are you referring to? The "female" part or the "hawkeye fan" part? Because I'm getting my B.S. flag ready to fly.

Re: Investigation?

The only call I saw which seemed really brutal was the charge drawn by Sonnen right after the first T. It was bad because Sonnen was probably moving, and the ref seemed to call it to make a statement to Fran.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm almost positive (after watching the game 100 times, lol) that this charge call was before the first 2 T's? In fact, I'm pretty sure this charge call was the reason Fran slapped the bottle off the scorers table and went nuts, leading to the T.

In my opinion, after watching it many times, that call could have gone either way. I can see where Iowa fans question the call but I don't agree it was brutal or to send a message to Fran.
