Wofford/NC State–Gottfried technical foul (Video)

[bballref3966]

Karl Hess called a technical on NC State coach Mark Gottfried at 15:58 in the first half against Wofford yesterday, 12/14.

First NCSU game Hess has called since the Gugliotta/Corchiani incident nearly three years ago.

The game was on Fox Sports South, RSN, and WatchESPN I believe.

Sounds like he said some magic words. And he messed with the wrong guy. Hess is not that guy to mess with. He will stick you and move on very quickly.

Coaches need to understand that we really do not care about them. It is not in our job description to care what they ultimately want to accomplish. Hess will be onto the next game and Gottfried will not even make the tournament. If they thought it was a foul, they would have called it.

Not a fan of the actually timing in calling the T...calling the T when he did took away an open 3. I think you need a more patient whistle here.

I would have waited until the shot and subsequent action from it was finished...then whacked the coach.

Honestly, I do not think he cared. He got tired of his mess and took action. I agree in normal circumstances we should wait, but he had enough.

I think we've all been there...someone...a player or coach says or does something so ridiculous and outlandish, or has just gotten to the point where you've had enough, that we just go ahead and WHACK 'em. I've seen it at all levels...NBA, NCAA, and high school.

I would hope though that after video review, that's the conclusion he'd come to was to wait the extra couple of seconds...then whack the coach.

As to the actual T, he probably said some magic words...and he was overly demonstrative by smacking down on his arm to indicate his displeasure with the coach. I don't see anything wrong with the actual T itself.

Gottfried says "That's bullsh!t Karl, I was just talking to you" after he gets the T.

Well, what I see is a coach talking while demonstratively clapping his hands. That's not "just talking" in my book.

And according to NCSU fans, it will be Hess's fault when they do not make the tournament.

NCSU also had a game-winning three-point shot at the end that was correctly waved off by Hess, much to the fans' displeasure. I read an article (can't seem to find it at the moment) that said a water bottle was thrown in Hess's direction as he left the floor after the game.

State fans have blamed Hess for everything since the 2012 incident. I am surprised to hear that he had not called a single State game since that incident until yesterday.

In other news, I thought it was cool that this game was at Reynolds rather than PNC.

Is there a question here?

Curious to see what everyone thought of the aftermath. He stuck with the T then during the timeout comes all the way out to the opposite side of the floor still "jawing" at Hess. I thought the other 2 officials did a good job of getting in front of him just wondering how some officials would handle this in an NFHS game

In a HS game, coach doesn't get past the outer boundary of his huddle before I'm walking him back.

Somebody point me back toward where in a book (I'd love an NCAA-W book(s) reference, but anything will do) to where the case plays for "the official shall wait until the layup is successful/unsuccessful to assess the technical foul, yadayada" is supported by a rule reference that contradicts:

"Art. 2. A live ball shall not become dead when a foul is committed by an opponent of a player who starts a try for goal before a foul occurs, provided that time does not expire before the ball is in flight."

Haven't thought about that in a couple of years, can't find things, and want to know where that lives, so that I can explain how the cited rule doesn't for some reason include the HC as an "opponent."

As it is being determined that it would be in the best interest for police officers to wear body cams for sake of recording incidents and transparency, I would like to see microphone/recorders inserted into the precision timing devices that the officials wear. Record everything.....

Gottfried says he didn't use profanity prior to the T, everyone here is assuming that he must have used some magic words. Who's ever going to really know what happened and what was said?

Having recordings that conference assignors and university administration can go back, listen to and review could allow them to target and clean-up whichever side of the aisle needs it.

And if he didn't use profanity...so what? His overt actions of slapping down on his hand like he did in displeasure for the call was enough in itself to get a T.

I did not realize that profanity was the only reason to give a T for unsporting behavior.
