Agree. I have never worried CMC was going to assault somebody though.
Yes it needs its own thread… Mad Fran

True, but when he called a timeout just to berate a referee was pretty crazy. I could definitely see Campbell just staring at a referee for a solid 30 seconds or whatever too. Would not shock me in the slightest.
How many of them were suspended due to their behaviors? You can make arguments about historical standards changing and such, but Franny Pants is not "par for the course".
Eustachy resigned (fired) twice for horrible behavior, or do we not count that because it wasn’t on the court, and just for being an crappy person?
Of course it counts. But this thread has been discussing on-court behavior. I didn't choose that.
And Larry WAS fired. Franny Pants gets secret extensions.
If you want to observe off the court behavior, lets talk about Franny and Margezilla getting thrown out of games they attended as parents because of ridiculous behavior. I suppose that is par for the course in your book, too.
I watched it, it was not a missed call. The clock shows 29 when it has 29.9 seconds. So when it reads 20 it is between 9.1 and 10 seconds. You basically have to have it click 19 which would be 10.1 seconds to be certain that it hit 10 seconds. Clock read 20 aka less than 10 when it was caught.
So you have forgot Larry E standing in the middle of the floor during a time out staring down officials?

Everything at iowa city is absurdly weird. Its kind of like how inflation is so high, but every other vehicle i pass on the road is $70,000 plus. It just keeps going, no rhyme, no reason.
And pretty sure he has never accused a ref of fixing games....
You’re right. I apologize, I never actually watched the play, just saw the aftermath. But from what everyone that I heard or saw respond about it made it seem like it was a no brainer. Should have looked at it myself. Has to be on the 19 on the shot clock before it’s a 10 second violation.
Sure he got fired eventually, but not for accusing referees/the conference of fixing games.
For me, if the coach is in his box or in his huddle and wants to stare at the ref, no biggie if they leave the huddle and walk towards the ref and just stare, that is when it borders on T level. I don’t remember the instance that the one poster mentioned about Larry, but if he called a TO and left the huddle or coaching box to stare down the ref then he should have been hit.
Yeah I don't care about coaches getting into refs and I'm sure all sorts of stuff goes on from the bench.
Larry absolutely deserved Ts.
Fran is the only coach I’ve ever heard referred to as Mad (insert coaches name).
When Iowa hired him, their catch phrase was, Lets get Mad Again. They knew his craziness.
