I couldn't agree more, I was hoping he did not pick up the T in that situation. But to see that, and than say McDermott never blows up on refs would be a stretch....

I was at a wedding that day so I missed the 2nd half, but I heard it was a terribly called game. and that coach Rutter was holding Mac back from going balistic.
No wonder Floyd is going ballistic. Looks like USC will not make the NCAA tournament, and the average attendance at home is under 6,000.
Hey Tim - regret leaving Iowa State?

The T for a flop is a good thing, even though it is never called. Refs can use it as a deterrent. I myself haven't, but I have seen refs who've warned teams to quit flopping. The particular game I saw was full of flops which were really getting the fans riled up at the no calls. Calling them for a block is just going to rile the fans up even more, so during a timeout, the ref told both teams to stop the flopping or a T would be called. Rest of the game was as smooth as could be.
Have season tickets and haven't missed to many games.
Not sure what you are getting at. Greg never gets a T and rarely works over an official. That is what gets Hilton so pumped. When Orr road the officials, Floyd took his jacket off, and LE blowing a gasket. The crowd eats that stuff up
Thus I say that he is an overrated coach. He did some great things at Hilton but after he left people talked about him as the greatest coach ever. Never saw it. Good coach but far from great
Good posts clone52 & acrozier22.
I tend to wish there was a different rule about the flops too. Running out of bounds to avoid a screen used to be a T, but nobody called it. Now that its just a violation I've called it several times. I've never called a T on a flop, but I have told coaches and kids to knock it off. Don't know what the right answer is there ... not my problem I guess.
BTW, I gave my first flagrant foul in 8 years of working games. It was the crown jewel of a masterpiece of a jv game that also had 3 techs - had me wanting to go home and never ref again by halftime. Sometimes it is truely amazing who parents let coach their kids.

Just for clarification, they didn't shoot free throws for the charge did they? I'm assuming you meant they fouled on the following inbounds.
The other poster is talking about the UCLA/ASU game ... not the USC game. ... I think.
True he never gets a T, but the man has worked over officials in pretty much every game I have seen him coach...
Using it for that reason is a smart use. Another example of an official who over communicated and was clear in his expectations and consequences and for that reason did not have to give a T.
The score was out of hand at that point and the call - good, bad, or whatever - was not going to make any difference in the outcome of the game. If looked like Tim just wanted out of there.
If they get the block call, and the basket, then it is a 4 point game with a minute to go. That's not even close to being out of control.
Gmac cant show too much emotion, cuz he's so big if he showed emotion the ref is likely to be scared for his live and pee his pants :laugh:
