Investigation?

Re: Investigation?

I thought on the charges taken by Pehl and Sonnen that Fran was angry about, both Iowa players lowered their shoulders, more so on the one that Pehl took. Really the one thing that, after watching the replay multiple times, Iowa fans have anything to cry about is that Pehl was allowed to play a bit more physically than others. He got away with a few elbow shoves to create space but nothing that should cause an atomic meltdown

And nothing they won't see a dozen times or more in the Big Ten.

Re: Investigation?

Exactly. If you can't deal with some physical play against UNI, then what are you expecting to have happen when the Big Ten season rolls around?

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.

First of all I was not talking about the ejection. I was referring to Fran's behavior the entire game. It was the worst behavior I have ever seen from a coach at any level. Apparently he has a long history of this type of behavior. He was on all 3 refs from the start of the game and not just questioning a call but in their faces about anything and everything. All 3 told him they had heard enough. They showed great restraint not T'ing him up earlier. He was a flat out embarassment. If the situation was revered and it was a UNI coach, I would be contacting Dannon and the athletic department.

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.

How often does a coach's wife get ejected, because Fran's has. They have demonstrated their lack of class LONG before they came to Iowa. This isn't because he is the Iowa coach, this is because he is a complete tool.

Re: Investigation?

I am sure based on the complaints received about the game, that the NCAA committee actually did look into it. I watched this game several times, and I can honestly say there were two calls which went the wrong way, but the rest of the calls, when rewatched, could be justified without a problem. The committee probably watched the game realized the calls in no way affected the outcome of the game and then it stopped there.

Which NCAA committee are you referring to? There is no NCAA committee that evaluates judgement calls by officials. The conferences do, not the NCAA.

Re: Investigation?

Link, please...both to the 90% figure and to the numerous "national people"

90% of people outside of Panthernation who actually cared about this game were Iowa fans. The other 10% were a smattering of ISU fans who wanted to see Iowa lose and had nothing else to do that night. Math explained.

Great point. I would have run him earlier.

Re: Investigation?

whenever a mvc teams plays someone from a bcs conference almost all fans of mvc basketball teams are rooting for the mvc team. we hate each other during conference play, but strongly support each other out of conference. this is very obvious when i read comments on mvcfans.com. so to say 90% of fans outside panther nation that cared about this game are hawk fans is very false.

There is more than just the conference committees which handle these situations. Most likely they brought this to the conferences attention and if they truely believe there is some deeper underlining problem with this game the NCAA would be brought to handle the situation. If it is something the conference can handle yes, but if it is a problem with the refs being paid off or anything like that, which are rumors being spread, then the NCAA is brought in to look into the situation because there is a bigger problem than just the conference. It envolves people with higher authority to handle the problem facing Refs, conferences, and the NCAA all together.

L O freaking L.

If you are going to start spreading rumors like that, you better have some facts and sources to back it up.

We don't even have enough money to buy freakin heaters in Montana. How are we goin' to pay off refs for a meaningless b-ball game???

(BTW, it's only meaningless because it's iowa)
