Technical

[Nacho]

The ISU radio guys seemed to think Les was stomping his feet in protest of a non-travel call... two redbirds bobbled the ball around the FT line, then Les starting his pounding his feet and yelling for a travel... just what they thought...

[BuBraves55]

That was a terrible technical, despite the situation. This game was gift wrapped from the official who made the technical, and he threw in some nice bows on top with some other pathetic calls earlier in the game.

Make some FT's in the 2nd half and none of this would be a topic!

[Nacho]

And one more quick snip-it... the only reason BU had a chance to get to OT was a "clock malfunction"... it was clear BU was not going to be getting off anything close to a good shot when the refs realized that the clock hadn't started... then bu gets the ball at the hash mark with 2 seconds left when they had no timeouts left??? That was garbage

Come on a T for yelling at your own player and stomping you foot at your own player?? Yeh blame Les....come on...this loss is on the refs..they were beyond bad...

This loss is on Jim Les' tired act of screaming and yelling. He should have learned from the first time that happened. He had a warning issued to him for **** near the same thing right after Jank got t'd up. He is a division one basketball coach at a historic program. He should have known better. NO EXCUSES!

still would be a topic for me....that is among the worst calls that I have ever witnessed...FT would have cured it....but that T was unbelievable...

The refs didn't blow this game at all.....they were rotten for sure but they gave us an extra second in regulation when the clock didn't start....there was definitely more than 2 seconds gone..inbounds to WE,pass to Dodie and a few dribbles all in two tics.......

Excellent post b and c, only thing tires me out more than this season is the mega spin of out little factions.

[FortyTwo]

Les had already recieved a bench warning which means zero tolernace. You don't leave the box, swear, stomp your feet, anything to give them a reason. And whether it was a good call or not by the ref (whihc I don't think it was), he gave them a reason. You have to be more in control of your emotions and smarter than that with 1:19.

You think if a player had gotten a T in that situation, even if he was yelling at a teammate, Les gives him a free pass? Hell no!

And on the post game show Les calls out the refs, and then most of his team for missed free throws, not paying attention on defense, poor execution, etc. (which are all true) but never once takes blame for anything himself. He almost sounded as though he felt he coached a perfect game and it was a shame his team couldn't execute for him. I was on the fence before, but I'm done with him. I'm ready for the rebuild.

I wonder if all of the other teams in The Valley get screwed by the officials every time they lose. I guess Valley officials must be deciding the winner of every game this year. Man, they must really hate Les and Bradley.

You take everything he does and make it negative, which is the exact opposite of what you accuse other people of, making things rosy of everything he does. The T was a ridiculous call, and everyone knows it. Only sad people trying to push their agenda would try to make it anything more. You've got two other boards which you love to pollute, yet you still find the time to come onto the pro-Bradley board and antagonize. If I was so unhappy about something, I sure wouldn't spend time on THREE message boards talking about it!

I never have said I want him gone, nor have I said I want him to stay. What I have said, is that there are people who know way more than me about how he has done with the program who will make that decision, and I will support what they decide. I'm not one of those guys who holds up the concourse walls with his back at halftime telling everyone around him how much he thinks he knows.

I'm frustrated. Everyone is. But there is enough to be frustrated about without the spin and the fabrication. The T was bogus, the officials were awful. The team played really well in spurts, we had spells where we looked better than we have all year, but we really struggled with Carmichael. He's good.

You would prefer the unhappy fans went away you would have no fans left. Its not about this T or the last one that cost us a game its not even about this season. We hired a coach with ZERO resume who hasnt taken us into the top 3 in 9 years at the helm. We are on pace for one of the worst seasons in the history of the program and we just last at home to ISU after having an 11 point lead with two minutes left. What is the fabrication? What is the spin? Can you name anyother management position for any other company that would still keep this type of employee?

Anybody remember when we were like 4-0 this season? Man everything was more fun back then...

I agree Jim was trying to get wills attention. Pretty poor call BUT you can't shoot free throws like we do and blame a loss on the refs. They were bad for both teams. I said on another thread,the MVC board had Kissinger and Steed as the two worst officials in the league and I think they proved it to me tonight. I rarely say anything bad about officials and I won't blame this loss on them even though they were not very good. We lost and deserved to lose at the free throw line. Some things never change. Even though Jim was not upset with an official with a call he needs to understand that is not the place where judgement came into play and bit his arse.

I dunno why they didn't just put 4 seconds back on and give the ball to bradley under the basket again.
