What does it take to get a T on the Head Coach in a Men's D-1 game???

Last night it was Calipari throwing F bombs at the officials...now Izzo is going nuts. And the announcer is praising the officials for their patience and for trying to stay away from Izzo.

Oh - and now the A'sst. Coach for MSU is taking verbal shots at the official during a time-out. Wow.

So what does it take to get rung up??? I really don't get it.

It takes an official with stones.

What is this mythical creature of which you speak, JR?

I have noticed this as well this year, both in person and on TV. It seems like D1 head coaches can get away with pretty much anything they want short of physical contact.

Funny how you mention Izzo and Calapari and not Romar's similar foot stomping outbursts. If called as you wish (and I agree with your general point), Romar would have been DQ'd more than once in just one game. There was on incident where Romar would have made a baseball manager proud with the way he was barking in the face of TWO officials at the same time. The only thing missing was a little dirt to kick on their shoes.

Coach Romar is usually pretty calm. But he is quite bright. When he feels that officials are being intimidated by an opposing coach who is being a tyrant, he will sometimes bark a little too so that the officials know that there are two coaches on the sidelines.

What Camron describes seems pretty different from your assessment.

Even so, if the refs are letting Izzo do it then Romar is just following suit.

This is true. However, Romar's outburst came after Calipari had gone on several rants - including the one where he was dropping f-bombs on the crew. That does not mean I condone Romar's actions, but maybe he thought he needed to get in their ear also??? I don't know...it just looks horrible and makes officials in general look bad.

The one time I saw Romar coach in person, earlier in the year in Pullman, he was pretty laid back.
