Those complaining about Arnold's technical should think again. I'd say that any one of us coaching that game would have gotten a technical. Two extremely bad calls just before the T. Agee was called for a charge when the defender was in the restricted area and moving. Crawford was called for a charge when his defender moved laterally into him near the top of the key. It was almost identical to Crawford's third foul the previous day. By contrast, it was "play on" when Crawford was mugged going to the basket for a shot. NCAA should ban refs from the games and allow the guys to sort it out like they do in pickup. I agree with that the refs were horrendous last night. I saw a few calls in addition to the ones you mentioned that were blatant mistakes and most certainly impacted the result of the game. However, Arnold needs to know the situation. Every single point and possession in a game is meaningful. Especially in a tournament game with only a few minutes left and points from the field are hard to come by. He hadn’t gotten a tech all year and for the most part didn’t bark at the refs to frequently. Last night was not the night to start. I say all that not knowing what he actually did or said to get the tech in the first place. So if the tech itself wasn’t warranted than i give him a pass. Otherwise if he was previously warned or was irate and he was deserving of T then he deserves the criticism

Same reason you would complain in a close game, except the consequences of the complaints, are nonconsequential. Bull. No.

Otherwise if he was previously warned or was irate and he was deserving of T then he deserves the criticism cannot get a "T" in a tournament game, unless your up by 30 with less than 2 minutes to play! Yes. I am in 100% agreement that he can’t get a tech in that situation. but refs have been known to give techs for no reason (like looking at a ref the wrong way Ect). So I’m just saying that if that were the case we need to ease up a bit. Commentators on the broadcast didn’t mention anything. Anyone at the game hear or see? PS. At this point does it really matter?? Arnold was dealt a rough hand this season. He had his ups and plenty of downs this season. I’m fairly confident he won’t be the head coach next year so at this point it doesn’t really matter

If we only could have pulled that out we would have kept our maac tourney winning streak and could still be considered the only team that hasn’t lost a conference tourney game in 5 years.

I guess it’s time for the post mortem on the year. I agreed with Guy that it was done before it started. No Cluess no winning season. Now it’s wait and see when or if there is an announcement on Cluess’ status. It seems unique to the Iona program that information about pretty much anything is held like a state secret. Cluess himself said his condition wasn’t life threatening. That was months ago. Why no word on how he’s doing? People are concerned for him. People are also concerned for the program. I don’t think it’s inappropriate to ask for an update. When coach K was out for a season everyone knew why and how long before he would return. Is there something deeper here than what we already know?

The coronavirus actually buys our program some time to sort it out. Now NO ONE can run off and recruit, not just Tim. Iona needs to take this time and figure everything out, in short order. Can't stand idle--we were just in 7th place and lose our 2 best players, the conference is quickly getting better. I know Tim can't control his health and of course we all want him to get better but the program needs to hit the ground running this offseason or we'll be PIG bound again in 12 months.

I thought of that as well, either very good or very bad for us. You may be right-more good.
