excerpt from the Terre Haute newpaper article. A little more information.
As it seems to be when ISU and Wichita State play each other, it was another bizarre game. This time it was thanks to the bench antics of Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall.
Marshall was ejected with 12:22 to go in the game after receiving his second technical foul. He had received his first technical foul from referee J.D. Collins just after halftime. He received a second one from Gerry Pollard, Marshall had spun in protest to a non-call, and has his back turned when the technical was assessed.
When Marshall realized he received the technical, he went ballistic. He jawed with the officiating crew for a time before leaving the court in a huff.
After leaving the floor, Marshall kept ranting outside the Wichita State locker room.
“I said foul on the first one and I didn’t say anything on the second one,” said Marshall to the assembled media.
Marshall then saw a member of the Missouri Valley Conference league office.
“I’m the new guy, right? Well [the ejection] was [expletive deleted]. Absolute crap,” Marshall said.
Marshall was the first coach ejected in MVC Tournament history. Moore made all four free throws as a result of the technical fouls.
Collins released a statement after the game.
“Both technical fouls were for bench decorum for demonstrating on either calls or no calls,” the statement said.
Several sources on the bench side of the court confirmed that Marshall was warned by the officials for profanity. A cooled off Marshall did not mention that after the game.
“J.D. Collins said I did something when I asked [MVC referee] Mike Sanzere a question going off the floor at halftime that had not been acceptable. J.D said I couldn’t referee … I understand what he means now because I said ‘foul’ and I got the first T,” Marshall said.
“And then the second technical foul kind of caught me off guard a little bit. I was just kind of kneeling, and I spun around away from the referee that had blown his whistle and I guess I was too demonstrative. But no one said anything to me other than you’ve got to leave,” Marshall added.
After Moore hit a pair of free throws to put ISU up 43-38, Marshall’s ejection briefly gave the Shockers life. The Shockers drew within a point within two minutes of the technical foul.
