Sherri Coale not happy

Big surprise there. She didn't think Courtney Paris committed a foul in her entire career at OU (as she bulled over opponents in every game) and that Paris was fouled on EVERY single OU possession. Sure they had a ton of fouls tonight but tough cookies Sooners.
We had 34 free throws to their 14. And their 5 starters had 24 fouls total. At home.
that doesn't happen often in the Big 12.

There's a link to the video in the Cyclones.com game story. I don't know if you have to subscribe to Cyclones.tv or not to see it.

She makes a lot of good points. I understand why she is angry.
I was unable to watch the game so I really can't express an informed opinion on how the game was officiated. I do know that historically her teams have played very physical and agressive and she has expected the officials to "even up" the fouls.
When she was pointing out how they shot better than ISU and had more rebounds, she forgot to mention how OU also had more turnovers (+4, if I remember correctly) and fewer steals (-6). Oh and to add to the 4 intentional fouls theshadow mentioned, it sounded like OU also fouled intentionally earlier in the second half to avoid giving up a 3 on 1 break. I don't know if ISU ever did something similar, but without those, 21-17 is starting to look pretty near even.
They have for just about every game mens and womens.
I didn't say she went off on them, but she did say everything she could about the officiating without getting a reprimand (or worse) from the conference.
In the highlights, she looked angry and hardly wanted to look at Fennelly. Oh the wrath of an Southern Blonde, they are legendary, and she will be smoldering still next year. Beware Fennelly, and all referees that dare to cross her path!
