Game 15- ISUb

[Neighbor]

As far as officiating last night, Kelly Self is a veteran ref who consistently works high level NCAA tourney games, but the two young guys had a really tough night. I don't recall ever seeing either one do a game in McLeod before and i wouldn't be surprised if it is the first year officiating DI games for both.

Referees:Shane Staggs, Chance Moore, Kelly Self

Kelly is the older guy. Chance is the younger dark haired guy. He has done games at McLeod previously. (and Chance does a lot of big time games). Shane Staggs i've never seen before.

Those guys had a real tough night from the get go. It happens everyone has a cold night from time to time.

Chance Moore is SUPER well thought of. He's one of the guys they're penciling in to be in the next Higgins, Kissinger, Sirmons, Pollard level group. He'll do Final Fours someday. You can put Brooks Wells, Tyler Kumpf and Amy Bonner in that group with him as well.

Kelly Self has completely lost his fastball and didn't throw that hard to begin with. He's the new Hal Lusk/Zelton Steed/Terry Davis type now that he's gotten older.

And this is the first time I've seen Staggs and I don't think I need to see any more.

Last night has me seriously questioning...hooking a player with your arm/elbow to get by them is a foul...right?

Generally yes, if they see it.

Last night I was sitting very very close with no one in front of me. I noticed more than once that all three refs were eyes locked on the ball. Not typical practice.

I noticed this as well. I remember one in particular where they hooked Kimmons then moments later Kimmons got called for bodying him on the drive. Ridiculous.

Can we get Missouri on the schedule? Arkansas is ahead of them 49-15 at halftime.

I am actually a fan of scheduling more buy games at bad P5 schools. It'd be a great way to spark up interest among the more casual fan. If UNI would to beat Mizzou, a shockingly large amount of people would go "Wow, small school beat big school, that's great" rather than "The objectively better team won." And for that reason, we would never actually be able to get a game with the Mizzou's of the world, because it'd look really bad for them to get beat (likely by a lot) at home by Northern Iowa.

A school like Mizzou would never pay for us to come there right now, they want to buy wins, they don't care about the quality of the opponent. SOS is only something that matters for mid majors.

Cuonzo is going to get fired again and somehow end up with a job again. It's literally amazing.

Cuonzo DID get fired again. Former IA St assistant Cornell Mann will be interim.

Perfect fit for Jake. (not that I want him to go)

[Trapped in California]

Cuonzo can recruit. Exactly how - shrug.

Nah, I think it's B1G or bust for Jake. Minnesota or Wisconsin.

[achrist70]

Did Jake interview for Missouri before? Why am I thinking this, I remember Texas A&M for sure, but I think Missouri as well.

[BCPanther]

K State and Nebraska are most likely going to be open as well. If we finish strong I'd have to think that Jake takes a hard look.

The report of Cuonzo Martin's firing was from a parody twitter account:



For everyone asking, that was clearly a parody account. Cuonzo Martin remains head coach of Mizzou men’s basketball, which has now been corrected by Bleacher Report.
