Collins Post Game Press Conference
- Thread starter cedricmelons
- Start date
He doesn't dare. That said I am sure that tape will be sent to the supervisor of BIG officials. But at this point an appology is likely all they can get
He was very diplomatic, as he should be.
What he needs to say he can do so in private quarters with conference representatives.

Collins won't. He almost did that once after the Gonzaga screw job, but stopped short. He'll just continue playing the "nice guy" act with Big Ten officials...
- And they'll continue to screw NU season, after season, after season
- Fran McCaffrey once found the Big Ten refs in the tunnel after the game and screamed "You cheating motherf***er!" You're a f***ing disgrace!"... well, now Iowa gets treated fairly
- PSU coach Mike Rhoades has zero history in the Big Ten, he's two years in, and noww his team gets a whistle against NU like nothing I've ever seen
- NU suffered one of the craziest screw jobs I've ever seen in the closing seconds. What does Collins do? He remains docile and shakes hands. Well, I hope the nice guy routine makes him lots of friends. It doesn't get him calls
- Frankly, NU fans have to question: "If Collins doesn't care enough to get fired up and show some real emotion, why should we?"
I was surprised Collins was so calm after the inadvertant whistle screw job, but let's not pretend he never screams at the refs. Remember @Purdue last year?
It’s on YouTube. He didn’t say anything bad. Didn’t even give the passive aggressive “no comment” that you might expect.
You guys kill me. For years on this same board, we heard NU never gets calls because CCC whines too much to the refs. Now he doesn’t go beserk, and people complain that he should have!
If that was in the tunnel it is out of site. Can do things out of sight that you cannot do in full view
I like you more and more every day, especially with that chain wallet.
He always talks about the conference season being a 20-round fight. Smart not to antagonize anyone you might see again in the remaining 17 rounds. Plus we know his true feelings from the sidelines and Lou’s tweet about his final interaction.
Was it last year CC went nuts near the end of the game on the baseline and in the face of a ref at Purdue? I felt like the NU paid for that for a few games.
It's obvious refs talk and they have long memories. It's never worth it to show them up ... unless MAYBE it does something for your team.

That was Courtney Green. Interestingly, that game was the 4th NU game he had called last year out of 47 total games this far - but then he did not ref another NU game the rest of the season, despite calling 33 more games including 11 conference games, 3 conference tourney games, and two at Barclay's during the tournament. He has not called one this season either so far.
Who knows for real, but in the clip above Collins says specifically that he hasn't seen the tape and just has to trust that the three guys at the monitor got it right.
Thats a mature response in the moment - if you haven't watched the tape why risk looking foolish.
But I'm sure when he watched the tape it made him angry.
In my opinion, he should find an opportunity or 3 to tell the media "We got the short end of that call. Basket should have counted. It cost us the game."
To a rational human, it makes no sense that Barnhizer's putback would be disallowed.
Whistle came after or just as he released the shot.
I would bet my life that Coach K gets that call.
Second time this year a Barnhizer basket that might have won us the game was disallowed. Really frustrating!
Inaccurate statement. CCC fights against the machine valiantly. Just without success.
Man, and I thought I was paying close attention.
Don't get me wrong. That's great info. Thanks
He got thrown out of a game arguing with refs last year at the Purdue game!!!!
