Altman's standing on the court finally catches up to him

[tgcshock]

I always get irritated by the fact that Altman consistently stands inbounds on the court even when the action comes down to his end. I figured someday an opposing player would just drive right through him. As it turns out, during the CU-WSU game he got injured by one of his own players. Karma.

Didn't Garrett bury P'Allen into Dana at Omaha last year?

Two for One.

Fortunately it was Kip that got hurt and not one of his, or God forbid, our players. I don't think he would have escaped town if one of our players hit him. I'm sure the league will take action immediately...in Bizarro world.

HCGM stands on the court as well. It drives me crazy and I don't understand why the officials don't keep them in the box.

Most coaches do, and I'm with you, I would prefer to see the rules enforced.

However, the difference with Dana is that far more than any other coach I have seen, he stands on the court when the action is on his half of the court. Time and time again, he will be on the court while players are trying to run an offense within feet or inches of him. Doing that is just an injury waiting to happen. Luckily, it was Altman himself that got hurt instead of an opposing player.

What home game this year was it that the opposing coach got in the way of a pass? It was unintentional, but it still cost them.

I think that was Bradley. Les wasn't actually on the court but he pointed something out to a defender or whatever and a pass hit his hand I believe.

God I love this game!

No, I believe the coach that got the interference call made against him was the TCU coach. There were three technical fouls called in that game, IIRC.

The interference call was number 3... and should have been the second made against the head coach, but the ref made up some BS so he wouldn't have to toss him.

You're right it was TCU. But he wasn't on the court like we've been discussing and was pointing at something when the ball hit his hand. And I'm glad he didn't get tossed for that as it was purely accidental and he was standing out of bounds.

"Altman was kneeling on the sidelines when Harriman took a 3-point shot near the Creighton bench. Harriman took a step or two backward, then turned to sprint upcourt when Wichita State rebounded the missed shot. "

Actually, I see nothing there to indicate that Altman was inbounds. Harriman could easily have been outside the line after taking "a step or two backward and turning to spring upcourt".

I agree that he is often on the court when the action is on his end, but normally not kneeling. I'm just not sure his habit of being on the court had any involvment in this case.

Actually I have seen him kneeling where his feet and bent knees are over the line. Can't say for sure that they were in this case, but his propensity to be at least partially on the court most the game makes it likely.

I did see during our last game at CU, Altman on the court grabbing a ref on both shoulders discussing the game.

May I ask when had it ever been appropriate to stand on the court, approach the ref and grab him by both shoulders to address a game situation?

It's on tape if nobody believes me? What do you think would happen if Marshall grabbed a ref on the sideline with both hands on his shoulders?

I'd like to see it. I'm pretty sure it would be followed very shortly by Marshall kneeing the ref square in the grapes.

Altman grabbing a ref -- the ref has nothing to fear.

Now, Marshall grabbing a ref (which I don't think he would ever do) is something for the ref to fear (particularly if Marshall has that now-famous scowl on his face). That look alone would quell me.
