He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. **

 

[Baddog11]

Remember when we played them in Tuscaloosa last year, and they ejected him from the game?

 

[Baddog11]

Yikes, the Missouri head coach didn’t even want to talk to him during the postgame handshake.

 

[ZombieKissinger]

At least we know his players don’t let his actions translate into their own violence

I’m no puss but shouldn’t touch another team’s player. That’s a no go

 

[MrKotter]

Big 17ing deal. Puss ref wasn't doing anything about it so the coach moved the player back.

 

[BonzoGoesToCollege]

That should be an automatic suspension. He’s a thug.

He was acting like a prick and if the player had retaliated all hell would have broken loose. Pus move to push somebody counting on the refs and a power imbalance to protect you. He should be suspended if for no other reason than to try to avoid a coach getting his as kicked in the future.

The player wasn't "counting " on anything and the ref wasn't doing enough. Quit making more out of it than it is.

When did we decide a basketball official should also be a boxing ref? He shouldn't be expected to stop 6'10" dudes from throwing hands.

If those players can't control themselves to the point they want to scrap.. then I say let'em brawl, hand out the suspensions and play the next game(s) with whoever had the good sense to stay out of it.

Or, adopt hockey rules ***

big deal about absolutely nothing.

So the coach should be suspended for stepping in and refs should stay out of it? Gotcha

I'm not sure what the answer is.. I just don't think it's solely the referee's responsibility to stop fights on the court.

If Chris Jans does the exact same thing to a Kentucky player tonight, all of y’all will be saying the UK player deserved it for being in our bench area. To me, it’s much ado about nothing. He didn’t really shove him, he moved him away from the bench area. The little wave of his hand afterward wasn’t necessary and could be seen as inflammatory, which could’ve drawn a tech.

If Oats shoved a state player Saturday I would be pissed. Jans would have been pissed. Not a huge deal but you put your hands on another man like that the coach/player relationship goes out the window. Player would have shoved him back or popped him be a lot of pearl clutching and name calling from a certain contingent

Rule #1 : never put your hands on a student

Rule #2: never put your hands on a student

 

[theoriginalSALTYdog]

Oats is a little *****........I don't think what he did was really egregious but he shouldn't have put his hands on him......I wish he would gotten "knocked the eff out"...........

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Shooters shoot.

 

[MrKotter]

I'm not sure what the answer is.. I just don't think it's solely the referee's responsibility to stop fights on the court.

I don't either, regarding the ref.

 

[TulsaLawDawg]

I wonder what would have happened had he did that to Steve Sarkisian

 

[PBDog]

refs or coaches or any nonplayer should never break up any fight in any sport - let them police themselves, look at the video, then toss their asses out plus 3 game suspension and $100K fine
