Woodson candid comments about Fran incident

McCaffery might be a great coach. But his on-court antics are really off-putting. I can't see how his behavior doesn't result in refs forming a dislike for him.

I don't think it'd be common for refs to consciously allow their personal feelings to dictate how they call a game. But I also know how powerful our subconscious is and I can't see how that doesn't negatively impact his team, at times.
 
I'm sure it's happened, but I don't ever recall see someone retract a technical no matter how undeserved it was. There's zero reason for them to retract that one. Woodson "I'm not even going to comment on that" and then puts McCaffery and officials on blast. More of this please.
 
In what world is that NOT a technical? Pretty wild
Any explanation for why it was retracted? It looks like one official calls it in the video, and Woodson said it was called and retracted, but I cannot find anything confirming that and saying why.

The tech was called clear as day. Can't think of any viable explanation to retract it

Why isn't the coach's box rule enforced? Does it help TV ratings to see coaches acting poorly?
I hate that coaches aren't made to stay where they are supposed to stay.

The technical was retracted because the refs didn't have the balls to throw him out (he got a technical in the first half already so a second would've been an ejection).

Shocker: Larry Scirotto was there, one of the guys who missed the Ohio State call.

Indiana also had the worst technical I've ever seen assessed on them. They called one of Jordan Geronimo for "delaying the game" by throwing the ball to the official after a made basket, which is something that happens 15 times every game.
 
And yeah to KCG's point, Fran already got a T in the first half. Dude is unhinged

The T on Indiana was the right call. Iowa takes the ball out quickly after every made basket and makes a point of talking to refs if the other team touches the ball.
Players on the team that just scored can't touch the ball intentionally. It's not ok just because he threw it to the referee (with some arc on it so it was not quick). That player was intentionally slowing down the other team and exactly what the rule is there to prevent. If you were allowed to do that after made baskets it would change the game.
 
Announcers speculated that he didn't like that the assistant coach was talking to one of the refs.
Seemed pretty clear that the IU assistant was jawing with Rebraca and that got FM heated - he can be seen saying “ their coaches should not be shit talking my players - that’s bullshit…”.

He’s an ass, but I don’t disagree with this if that is what went down (and I think why the tech was pulled back) - routinely you see younger coaches (often former players) that feel like they are still players and act as such - time to grow up Peter Pan …

Very fair points however given how often it happens in a regular game I think there should have been a warning issued first. Perhaps there was and then it happened again in which I would take back what I said.

Delay of game warning more appropriate

You can't call that a tech and then not call the Fran incident a tech 🤣

What a complete joke B1G reffing is
 
the Big10 really needs to get hold on its officiating.

I have literally NEVER heard of a T being retracted.

and here the T looked absolutely deserved.
 
I've been done with Fran after his tirade at the half against us a couple years back. Knew full well they'd succumb to his cries in the 2nd half, and bye went a big potential road win.

Off topic, but was surprised that Patrick McCaffrey was actually there at the game and sitting on the end of the bench in street clothes. I would've thought he would've stepped away from attending games (and/or practices) entirely.

Agree in sentimate but a strong dislike for a coach could result in a shorter leash for T’s.

I’m glad they don’t. Pike would be T’ed up incessantly. He almost knocked the ref over last night he was so far onto the court.
