UM @ Purdue special Match up: Howard vs Officiating.

I love that Juwan fights for his players. Once he learns how to finesse the refs a bit, like Izzo does, he will be a legend. That will just come with experience and developing relationships with the refs.
February 23rd, 2020 at 1:55 PM ^
Finessing is not the word that comes to mind for anything Izzo does but especially not for the way he constantly bitches at the refs
February 23rd, 2020 at 2:09 PM ^
Agreed. I never associated whining at the refs with finessing.
February 23rd, 2020 at 2:04 PM ^
He’s learning on the job and it’s paying off. His first games he was very quiet mayb nervous but recently he’s been putting on a show fighting for his players and the players are responding. He needs to stay in the coaches box to avoid a technical but so far I give the Howard hire an A-! Go Blue Beat the backboards...er....badgers

Phil Martelli looks like a man who does not want children on his lawn.
February 23rd, 2020 at 12:47 PM ^
I am in my forties and I would stay away from that lawn too....
February 23rd, 2020 at 12:56 PM ^
He looks like the guy in a kids movie who lives in a run down house that all the kids are afraid of. His name is Old Man Jenkins or something and in the end he turns out to be a really nice guy
February 23rd, 2020 at 12:59 PM ^
Old man Withers after they take off his rubber mask and discover he's been behind the super spooky goings on at the haunted house.
He would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling refs.!
February 23rd, 2020 at 2:53 PM ^
Well would you? Children and lawns are a bad mix.
February 23rd, 2020 at 1:11 PM ^
Comme si comme ca Frenchy.
Last picture looks a lot like Phil Martelli.
Really, love the pictures. Thanks for sharing.
February 23rd, 2020 at 1:14 PM ^
You don't like it?
February 23rd, 2020 at 1:17 PM ^
Oui, oui. Je t'aime.
February 23rd, 2020 at 1:29 PM ^
moi, aussi.
and i bet you can come up with some great captions if you put your mind to it. you go right ahead and add text as you see fit.
February 23rd, 2020 at 4:34 PM ^
Well. I usually got bashed for my English. I grew tired of it
February 23rd, 2020 at 6:42 PM ^
Then caption in French :) we could all stand to learn a bit of french
February 23rd, 2020 at 8:27 PM ^
Non merci.
February 23rd, 2020 at 8:25 PM ^
forget those knuckleheads. only someone who barely speaks one language would comment on your english - and remember, your english is excellent. thank you for posting cool pics.
February 23rd, 2020 at 4:36 PM ^
Comme si, comme ça.
Means "so, so" so it bears a negative connotation.
I was just checking.
February 23rd, 2020 at 5:43 PM ^
Mais oui!
February 23rd, 2020 at 1:35 PM ^
Phil Martelli looks like the Sam the Eagle from the muppets.
February 23rd, 2020 at 1:48 PM ^
Enjoy Martelli while it lasts this season because he will be a head coach at an east coast school next year.
February 23rd, 2020 at 4:39 PM ^
Yeah, he might go... But ...
However the few interaction and echos makes me feels that you can take him for his words.
He said he came to help Juwan making it to a Monday night game in April. With the incoming class, I would not be surprised he would stick for an extra season.
February 23rd, 2020 at 1:45 PM ^
If I were a coach in the B1G, we’d just have to pencil in 6 points and and make sure we had a solid assistant to lead the team, bc Id be averaging 2 Techs per game and another on the way out...
February 23rd, 2020 at 2:01 PM ^
Martelli had the best one yesterday
February 23rd, 2020 at 2:19 PM ^
Martelli looks like he’s ready to throw some punches ahaha
February 23rd, 2020 at 2:23 PM ^
I loved that they had the game in hand and he was still arguing fouls with the officials. I am so impressed with his growth as a coach over a short amount of time.
February 23rd, 2020 at 2:26 PM ^
The second picture caption:
Waiter. Waiter. WAITER!!!!!
February 23rd, 2020 at 2:47 PM ^
Howard has a wide variety of expressions on the sideline and I love it.
February 23rd, 2020 at 3:17 PM ^
I was getting concerned he might get a technical when we were up about 8 with a minute or two to go. I saw the official give him the “that’s enough” hand sign.
February 23rd, 2020 at 6:35 PM ^
Just terrific photos! Thanks for sharing!

I would like to see the team's analytics on refs and how they quantify the refs' reaction to coaching.
