Arizona State head coach Bobby Hurley expressed frustration with the officiating during his team's loss to Iowa State, calling it a 'joke' and questioning why the Cyclones were awarded significantly more free throws.
While many would just say the team failed to deliver late, Bobby Hurley, head coach of the Sun Devils and a former standout guard at Duke, isn’t one to ever do that.
Instead, Hurley took aim at the officiating during his post-game press conference, referring to it as “a joke.”for the quotes). “That was a joke. I watched that. We can’t control someone that’s just throwing, launching his body and falls bad.”Pretty sure it’s not UCONN’S Coach Dan Hurley saying “Don't turn your back on me, I'm the best coach in the f--king sport.
However, he did take issue with another fact, as the Cyclones shot 12 more free throws than Arizona State did. “You’re going to wonder why, on your home court, that you shot that many less free throws than your opponent,” he said. “Because that hasn’t been the tale of the tape all year. We’ve either shot more than our opponent or right there with our opponent.
What Hurley didn’t seem to realize was that eight of those free throw attempts came in the latter stages of the second half. That’s when Iowa State held a lead and was doing a much better job of driving to the basket, forcing his Arizona State players to either foul or allow the bucket.Dana Becker has been a sports writer in Iowa since 2000, writing for The Fort Dodge Messenger, Mason City Globe-Gazette, Cedar Rapids Gazette and others.
