since when do you get a technical foul for yelling at your player to get up ?

[AZ BU Fan]

Has there been a public statement by the officials/MVC as to the reason for the JL T?

One of the other aspects is JL came out on the floor right behind the official when he stomped....

That may have influenced the official with his bad call...

BU still up by 6 after the T FT's then split like the red sea when ISU drove the lane for an uncontested layup to cut it to 4. Followed by several BU missed FT's by their guards....

I think we all know what led to the loss, but are looking for a convenient scapegoat to ease the pain. Try Tylenol instead!

Are you referring to people who would blame Jim Les getting the T for the loss, or people blaming the ref calling the T for the loss?

Can anyone say they wouldn't expect a BU win leading by 6 with one minute left after leading wire to wire?

Poor defense by BU players down the stretch and missed FT's by BU's Guards down the stretch resulted in the eventual OT loss. BU could of, and should of, buried ISU by 20 way before the final 1.5 minutes...

BU AD and Prez will have to decide if/how much the Coach is culpable for this game and the rest of the state of the BU MBB season.....

My only other comment is the old saying, "You can't fire all the players, but you can fire the coach!"

That's the problem...

You can't base things on just one game...


But this game was an awful lot like many others which you can judge as the broader spectrum of it all...

It's been more than 24 hours since the game ended and I'm still shaking my head at some of the things that happened in this game. I thought Jank should have gotten a 2nd T after his over the top reaction to his getting T'd up. The make up call foul on Egolf on the next possession was pathetic. The T on JL was absolutely bogus as he was yelling at Egolf to get back on defense. It does seem like JL's reputation with the refs is at it's lowest point if all it takes to get a T is to stomp your foot. I thought when DD got fouled it should have been called an intentional as he was fouled after he passed the ball and the ISU player grabbed him. Still no excuse not to make at least 1 FT. Same goes for DSE. Big ups to Will for knocking down the 2 FT's to send it to overtime. In OT it seemed like we forgot how to play defense. AW then hits 3 straight 3's, each one longer then the next, to put us up 1 with 13 seconds. That brings up 2 points. The 1st is did AW take the shot too quick giving ISU too much time. Obviously it didn't work out to well but I still think it was the right play. The 2nd is why in the world would JL take our only timeout there. Granted ISU probably would have called a TO to set up their offense so we would have had that TO if we needed it, which as it turned out we could have used it. The fould call on Hill's drive was terrible as he jumped into DD when he went up for the shot. Then the coupe de grace was AW getting mugged by 2 ISU defenders and no foul was called. It almost looked like ISU was trying to foul AW as if they were down by 1, not up by 1. I'm still shaking my head.
