[QUOTE="EyeoftheIllini, post: 1522466, member: 623415"] Just watched watched his press conference. I just love the way he handles himself. Gave Iowa the credit they deserved and mentioned their players by name, talked about lackadaisical play (might have used another word — maybe casual), but never mentioned Giorgi by name, and just shows the love he has for these kids. Compare that to a few other pressers by other coaches I’ve seen who act like they have no idea who plays for the Illini. As to the whole “controversy” over the late game run out and dunk, get over it. A bit bush league? Yeah, maybe but Illini were still defending. If defense had backed off it probably wouldn’t have happened. But it did, and as a player if you don’t like it use it as a little extra motivation and beat them bad at home. And while, I live that Chin stood up for his kids, what he should have done is shake Fran’s hand in line and not let go and block him so he can’t move on, lean in and say “bush league end of the game dunk. Is that the classless BS you teach your kids?” And then move on and watch Fran go ballistic and just look at him like “what got into him?”. [/QUOTE]
