Gregg Marshall Reprimanded by MVC

[jocoshock]

Coach Marshall really gave Elgin the finger here - does anybody else read between the line and think this is foreshadowing Marshall not coming back?

Based on what I read of Sexton's response in the paper, I think Sexton supported Marshall's comments.

Yeah I was trying to reconcile the two. Does anybody have links to the actual press releases from the MVC and WSU on this subject (not just the story)?

here is AP release

I quoted the exact press release Larry Ranking sent out with ES and HCGM's comments on the front page of the thread, if that's what you're looking for.

I starting to be suspicious of the referee assignment to the game. No doubt Elgin wanted somebody else than WSU or CU to win the tournament as evidenced by his "Almost, almost," comment.

"Almost," he said, smiling. "Almost."
Elgin was thinking about how close he'd come to his March Madness dream for the weekend — an upset in the finals by Illinois State that would have given the fourth-seeded underdogs an NCAA Tournament automatic bid and forced the NCAA selection committees to the rarest thing of all for a mid-major conference: dole out three tournament berths to the MVC.

C'mon Trop. I didn't hear anybody complaining about Kelly Self's reffing during the CReighton-WSU game in Omaha....

[Signman]

Nobody complains in a 20+ point beat down.

read through it, plenty of ref bashing, mainly about inside calls against Stutz and not GE...

That will endear Elgin just that much more to 3G and that certainly won't help to quiet the conspiracy theorists. Actually, I think that is as inappropriate as anything 3G said publicly, especially considering the happenings of the previous day.

And referees can't help determine the outcome with that kind of a spread.

I would have to agree. We can read into it what we believe just as Elgin did with Marshall's comment. It sounds like Elgin should be publicly reprimanded.

you own an inversion table, by chance, Vance?

You want to hang around with me? :) Check PM.

I am almost thinking this should be reported to the NCAA.

[shocksrbest]

I have sent an e-mail to Elgin as well. I would encourage all of you to do the same, let him know we support Gregg and his feelings about the game. Fill his e-mail box up.

Got an address or email handy??? I'm in!!!
