Tenn vs Xavier - T

Anyone watching?

69-67, ~ 5 minutes to play. Bruce Pearl, Coach, Tenn, steps out of the coaches box (after being warned earlier in the game) in the heat of the moment by a foot or so, exerting his team to play good D. Whack! Ref 'T's him. Announcer said, "that's an embarrassment to college basketball." Announcers said, ref should understand "the intent of the rule."

Pearl of course becomes unglued, comes on the court, uses several explitives, and of course - no T here.

Overall, good game!

It wasn't a foot or so. He had BOTH feet inbounds. His left foot was probably four feet onto the court and his right about one foot.

Since the NCAA has taken the position that the coaches MUST stay out of bounds and in their coaching areas, I have no problem with the enforcement of the rule.

BTW The Xavier coach received a T earlier in the game, which may have also been for his position outside of the box.

Must have motivated his players, as they smoked Xavier after that and won going away!

Yeah, I'm sure that was it.

I have been watching, and have it on the DVR, I went back several times to see what went on, Bruce was at the right hand side of the "N" in Cintas, about maybe 3-feet outside of the box. If he was warned earlier in the game, maybe he should have gotten the T, seems a bit picky to me, but by the way, the supervisior of officials was said to be in the house, so maybe that had something to do with it too.

I did see one time worse than this as far as being nit-picky, last year, Illinois got a T for six players on the floor when an Illinois player, having just been taken out of the game, walked down the bench and cut across the last 3-ft of the corner, about 84-ft from the play and the action, and got rung up with a T for 6-players on the floor.

I went to Tennessee for grad school, so I always watch the Vols when I can.

The POE is clear, the officials have their orders, and like it or not, they've been consistent in the application. The announcers, though, will blame the on-court guys. What else is new?

I was watching the game, and my memory is 90% certain that this was, indeed, what got Miller a T in the first half.

That said, how 'bout 'dem Memphis Tigers???

Yep, Mark, they looked good today against the Hoyas! Hibbert was a non-factor.

It was fun reading the lips of Bruce's assistant coaches as well after he got the T.

The coaches are the ones who make the rules so why the hell should there be any questions on how they are enforced. You know I didn't see the game but heard about it on ESPN a little while ago. I would like to hear what the observer at the game had to say or what Hank Nichols would say. Honestly if Pearl was warned even if coaching his team and he did again, well deserved. Plus I bet we don't know how many warnings he had received after the first one as well. TV doesn't show all of that as well. He could have been warned 5x's after that and we never saw or heard anything since we are all focused on the play or off ball stuff when watching.

I did not see the game. Based on what you just described, the Hank Nichols said this is how he wanted it called. If he had been warned and then violated the rule that is how they wanted it called. And Jim Boehiem of Syracuse who is the chairperson (or President) of the National Association of College Coaches claimed that is how they wanted this called without consideration to the game or the time of the game. If coaches do not like the way it is called, change the philosophy. The officials are being asked to call it this way and apparently the official did just what he was told. Do I agree with that philosophy? Of course I do not, but that is how they want it called and if you want to continue to work games, you do what you are told.

Peace

Exactly!!! Even if we disagree with the whole thats the rule we enforce if we want to work.

He was definitely complaining, but I believe that it was more where he was while he was complaining that got him nailed.

I happened to be watching the game at the time the T was given. Unfortunately the referees have been told that if they do not enforce the rule as it is currently stated it will affect future postseason assignments.

In case it was not noticed, Coach Pearl was back on the floor not long after this, and you can see the new (T), during the inbound while Tennessee was pressing, motion the coach to get off the floor. Non of his assistants were making any attempt to get him back in the box.

The coaching staff probably came close to getting another T when they went into their expletive laced tirade. I would like to have been in the post game.

Thanks for the info. Sound like they did it right. We haven't heard anything in the paper or on the news about it....
LOL!!
Happy Holidays y'all!!!
