[catfanatic]

catfanatic, maybe coach Rowe was taking up for his players. If the ref did not make the call on the break-a-way foul then he choked.....just like coaches choke and many players choke. Unfortunately fans cannot choke, they can only critique the game. I do not re-call Coach Rowe saying there was a personal issue so why the comments about this? Have you ever played sports? If so I guess you never choked,missed a shot or ever had any turnovers. I love it how people are the best coaches ever while typing

The first was called for saying "a sucky call" not a coaches box violation so watch the game closer next time and you wil be more credible

Let me address a couple of things. Making a mistake doesn't necessarily constitute choking. Maybe the ref missed the call. Maybe from his point of view there was no foul. I've always been told that it's not a foul unless the whistle blows. Doesn't mean there was a choke. I don't recall starting the crap about personal issues. Yes I have played sports and no I don't recall choking. I recall making mistakes and missing shots. Talk about being credible. If you will read my post, I said I don't know why he got the first T. It was a possibility it was because he got out of the box. Just a possibility. But if he said "you suck" or "sucky call", he should have gotten a T. It was said the people always blame the coach. No, people always blame the ref. When coaches and fans won't acknowledge that maybe the coach didn't have the team prepared, maybe the coach didn't make the right adjustments during the course of the game, maybe the players didn't get enough sleep the night before, etc. the easy thing to do is blame the ref. For the life of me, I have never understood how one call, one turnover, one missed shot can lose a game.

So what if the ref did miss the call. Refs, coaches, and players make mistakes every game with coaches and players probably making the most. What's getting lost here is the act of unprofessionalism exhibited by Coach Rowe. If in fact he did say "sucky call" that's not very nice language to use in front of young ladies. The "choke" sign, also not a very good example. Coach Rowe should be a little more concerned with setting a proper example and being a better role model.
