I hope Archie says a little something about those late calls in his post-game presser. ... You don't want to sound like a whiner, but it's always good to plant a little seed in the head of refs for future games that you don't enjoy getting screwed.

Any takes on Archie lunging towards Al? That’s not an ideal interaction at an Indiana considering our history.

Don't want your coach to lunge at you? Don't f*ck up in a key spot in the game. Pretty simple.

I would hope we are hot at a point in history where simply taking a step toward a player you are upset qualifies as even a blip of a story.

Doesn't matter. They obviously don't respond to that. Looks good for us fans BUT What do they respond too?

Yeah, but he wasn't doing it to 'look good to the fans'.  He did it because he was upset about a player screwing up at a very important of the game.  If we want coaches to be robots and not show emotion, then let's just call the thought police on him.  In terms of players responding to it or not.....they most certainly don't respond to it if it something a coach does over and over again and in situations less critical.  But let's see if Al ever calls a timeout with less than thirty seconds left in a game when the bench wasn't calling for one again.

I've watched a lot of Big 10 games this year and that was one of if not the worst officiated game the last 3 minutes of the year so far. Officiating in the big ten this year is probably worst I've seen ….ever. Better team won. They wanted it more. Again we were soft finishing at the rim. Guards still a step slower on defense that any guard combo in the league. We are just average still and will continue to be this year. Brad Underwood. 3 yrs. 2nd place in Big. Archie just trying to stay above cut line. Average coach average team. Underwood's kids have bought in. Not so for CAM. Now my phone is blowing up since I live in the middle of Il. 

Pretty fair assessment

I like that much better tbh.

I'm in the camp that players don't respond to getting yelled at time and again.  But that's not what we are talking about here.  The reaction from Archie in this case was different than normal but involved absolutely nothing physical.  I guess I'm not seeing why this is anything.

Archie did nothing wrong. I’m glad he’s finally showing passion and intensity

Maybe. Depends on the kid.

Izzo gets in his players faces verbally every game. It seems to work for him. But it’s verbally aggressive without the lunge.

Either way. Refs sucked today. emoji23.png

Yeah, this one isn't simply getting verbally aggressive.

On a positive note, Rob hit some big shots at the end. It would be nice to see that carry from here on out. Also, I’d like to see some plays for Hunter to get him free. Two of his shots today were huge
