You think Coach K is bad?

He jacked the head coach and the top assistant...that was great. They gave him way too much rope IMO...he could have been jacked long before that.

The look on Floyd's face when the officer grabbed him was priceless.

Officials at that level want them to hang themselves. It was handled perfectly in my opinion as no one is going to dispute if he should have been ejected. If done before Floyd could complain he was targeted. Now he cannot say hardly anything as he never stopped focusing on the official.

You should have read Rich's link. Our esteemed blogger maintains Floyd did nothing wrong and was unfairly targeted by a young official who was trying to prove himself/compensate for not being as well known as Floyd.

I do not need to read links to know that coaches will make any excuse to justify their behavior. Obviously Floyd would not let whatever happened go. And it appeared that the official hardly said a word to him at all during the last sequence. So who cares what the blogger thinks. I might as well start a blog and talk about something I have never done too and sound like an expert.

Floyd given a stern talking-to by CUSA, but not much else.

Here's the laughable quote:

"I was given a warning for having my foot out of the coaching box," he said. "I haven't got a technical all year long, so I went back to the bench. Next thing I know, I have a technical and I didn't know why I got it.

"I was not upset with the officials at that point," he said. "I was coaching my team after the first one."

This guy lives in La-La land.

Floyd Likely Not to be Suspended After Ejection in Loss

[APG]

If this happened in the NBA (which it probably wouldn't), Tim Floyd would have at minimum been fined for not leaving the court in a timely manner. He'd most definitely be suspended for making contact with an official. From the article above, it seems like he'll receive nothing but a slap on the wrist.

[APG]

UTEP Director of Athletics Bob Stull:

"Based on previous games this year, Tim’s actions in the East Carolina game were uncharacteristic.

Umm...it may not be characteristic of what he's done THIS year, but this isn't the first time Floyd's rushed out onto the court, been ejected, and failed to leave in a timely manner.
