When Haas is posting up:

[bonefish1]

I noticed this the other night when Haas got a cheapy because the Pitt defender essentially ran into IH's elbow when Haas is posting for position. Granted, there was some acting going on but every defender playing against IH or AJ is going to try and draw a cheap foul or two this way.
At 7'2, with both hands raised (elbows essentially at 90 degrees) and the defender is only 6'9, if he's trying to front him, how is he not going to run into elbows, especially if IH and AJ are doing a good job of using their ass.
I think this is what IH got frustrated about with the refs and then MP got mad at IH for jawing with the refs?

I wonder if this is a little gamesmanship on MP's part. Basically telling Haas "Look big fella, you're going to get some sh*t calls against you, it's just gonna happen because of your size. But let's not give the refs a reason to not give you the benefit of the doubt later in the game. But, when it happens, just tell the ref "you're right sir, good call. I'll try to watch the elbows"., let me handle the refs and make sure they understand how they're calling it on you.'

Ref/Coach interactions have been discussed in a couple other threads and this is another good example of how much do you "work" the refs. I'm glad that CMP got on Isaac, I don't want our guys being a bunch of whiny babies, just play the game.

But coaches working refs does work. Just watch the first 5 minutes of the MSU game last night and you will see a text book example of how to influence how refs call a game.

There are coaches, including the one to the south of West Lafayette, who will coach their players to deliberately push their faces into an opponents elbow to get them ejected. Anyone remember when Shehe actually bent down to try to make it happen in a Purdue game? How about when Zellar grabbed an MSU player's arm and smacked himself in the groin with it, then whine to the refs? Anyone doubt that it isn't already in crean's playbook?

The shehey incident happened at Michigan or Illinois I think.
They were down a coupe of possessions with just a few ticks left and he got behind the ball handler who was being pressed, squatted and put his face into his elbow trying to draw a flagrant.

Hilarious that anyone would even think to try that.

Typical IU.

Love how Dakich is bringing up the fact that Zeller pulled Nix hand into his own groin. Crean ball!

Sheehey was such a punk, he portrayed Creans personality on the court to a tee.

Thanks for the refresh, guys. What a pussy. crean can be proud of the fact that they have a new rule about faking getting hit with an elbow. From this time forward, it should be called the pussy crean technical foul. Justice would be seeing the hoosiers try it against Haas, and a smart ref calling a tech on iu.

Haas and Hammons showed great composure the other night at Pitt. Most colonoscopies are less invasive than the hacking defense our two bigs received.
