Better Get A Muzzle For Gary

This is pretty fascinating. According to Dan Hughes, the director of basketball operations for the MAC, refs can actually whistle a technical foul on coaches for yelling at their own players! It's not clear if he meant that this was only in the MAC, but it sounded like he was implying it was a national rule.

Can you imagine this? What would Gary Williams do if after berating his bench players because someone on the court didn't fight through a screen, he turned around to see a ref giving him a T? His head might explode.

Maybe they should go further. Maybe they should also give out technicals for particularly bad coaching. Tweeeeet!!! Technical foul on Coach Gillen. He used all of his timeouts before the 6 minute mark of the first half.
