The House of Blue

haha BCG knew how to give em that old time religion. And yeah that's another thing I haven't mentioned that I'm not liking Woods about now. I like hard tough defense but the crap he was pulling was plain thuggery. It wasn't just the UK game either. Apparently hack a team is their strategy this year. Come on man. Play basketball. If you like cage fighting that much go coach some cage fighters.

LOL.....you hit the nail on the head mine Big Blue Brethren! Did anyone hear the guy that called in on the Post Game Show? Was sitting behind the bench.....apparently the kid dropped some "F" Bombs on Sean, or a UK player.... Let the man make men!

Carl......I could be wrong about this. I was wrong once about 30 years ago...if I'm not mistaken. However, the kid was dropping "F Bombs" as he was leaving the court....before arriving at the bench.....a.k.a. The place where the "shove" occurred. So no.....I stand by my first observation. Take some testosterone, grow a pair, and man up.

This apparently isnt the 1st case of Woods doing this to a player. I didnt say I wanted him fired I said he may be fired my MHSU. And yes if he hit/shoved my son for something that cant be identified clearly and he has had previous episodes of treating his players similar to this then I wouldnt allow my son to be treated like that. Andy Katz reported other incidents during another game he was covering involving MHSU.

You dont make men by hitting/shoving them and Woods it has reported has done similar things to his players before as seen and reported by Andy Katz. I understand that sometimes you have to get in the face of some of these kids but Woods did go over the line. Shockeyfork said I said he should be fired but thats not what I said at all. I said he could be fired if this and other ocurrences have taken place. I suggest that Shockeyfork read the comment accurately so he/she may quote it accurately. And yes if my son was having to go through this kind of treatment I wouldnt let him become a man like that. Abuse is learned not genetic and men dont abuse they teach.

Fist time I've agreed with Hot Karl in a long time. The whole thing was uncalled for. That kid played his heart out for Woods and Woods embarrassed him in front of everybody. In this day and age you cannot get physical with a kid. Its gonna go viral in no time. Its not fair to the kid and frankly its stupid. Its takes away from what the kid and the team accomplished on the court which was a hell of an effort by those kids. For what really?? To prove you have all the power as coach. Thats not gonna get you respect. Treating these kids right and making them better players is what in the end will earn their respect. Not overbearing cussing and power. This isn't the 80's Sean. Good luck recruiting.

It's funny how people can see the same thing and think totally different things. When I saw this happen I rewound it watched it again and again and again, like 10 times. Partly it was extremely entertaining to watch, but I was trying to figure out what pissed him off so bad. From what I could tell he was mad that his PG allowed himself to foul out of the game on such a dumb foul while UK was within reach in crunch time. Then the camera didn't catch something that really sent him over the edge. I can only assume that the player spouted off to him because the closest assistant was trying to get up in the kids face too. Then the kid said something else back to Woods and that's when he grabbed his shoulder and pushed him out of the way and toward the bench to go sit down. Then the kid said something again, and the assistant had to restrain the kid as Woods started yelling at him again. So finally the kid makes it to the bench, and after Woods gave his team some instruction he came down to where the kid was on the bench and said a few more words to him that didn't really look encouraging. So the camera zooms in pretty close on the kids face and you can see him go from extreme anger, to frustration, and finally to sadness as he begins to tear up. For the next few minutes I watched him on the bench when the camera panned by and he had his head buried in a towel.

At no point in all of these replays did I ever think that Woods was out of line. He was obviously restraining himself, because he had to actually freeze himself and let the anger pass for a second before he really did something physical to the kid. I have to assume that this kid was the one out of line, and I'd love to know what he was saying. All I know for sure is that his lips were moving constantly and his head and body were swaying back and forth like a person will do when they are showing aggression towards someone. He was doing this the entire time that Woods was, let's say, "coaching" him. I have to think that this wasn't the first behavior related incident that Woods and his assistants had with that player. It appeared to be a final straw type of moment, but I can't attest to that with any personal knowledge, of course. I'd hate to see Woods get in any real trouble for it, and it would be a complete travesty if he was to somehow have his job status or career effected by it.

Whatever you say man! He didn't do anything but push him toward the bench. These aren't grade school kids we're talking about, they are grown men. Woods didn't physically hurt the guy in any way whatsoever. By your comments I'd be surprised if you even saw the argument. It looks like you only read about it.

This was all over Sportscenter, they talked about it all day yesterday

@ jasonukfan, I'm sorry to tell you I saw the game and the argument and Woods was out of line for shoving him under any circumstances. It is assault when you shove or hit a player or another person, so you are wrong, and I did rewind it over and over and Woods is wrong and should be disciplined accordingly.

Theres supposed to be something come out from the MHU AD today sometime. These people that think its ok to do what Woods did and tell people who disagree to "grow a pair or man up" probably treat the boys in their lives like that and really dont think theres anything wrong with it, but they are wrong. It does imeasurable damage.just Also your right about the media coverage this is getting,I think the media outlets take these things and keep running with them way too long.

I'm pretty sure the NCAA has hand check rules, but the referees should be instructed to execute it like NBA refs. I absolutely hate watching that kind of game. Louisville and most BE teams play that way. Hand checks, bumping the ball handler, smacking slashers on the arms, etc. are all fouls. Watch the Big East and find me a team that doesn't do this constantly. Syracuse isn't as bad, but they play that little girl zone crap.

Didn't see that. Consistency is very important, but referees should call a foul when one is committed. I don't care if one team fouls fifty times and the other five. That's one thing about the pro game that I truly enjoy better than the college game. It's not a hack-a-thon, but an actual basketball game. Hey, the pros even fine you for flopping! Ha.
