So I watched the replay of the game and I made a mental note to watch the calls after Izzo’s tech.
On MSU’s offensive end of the floor the refs called a foul on every challenged shot after the tech except Dave’s big block of the dunk attempt and one other challenged shot.
I’ve always hated techs on KU coaches, but often times it probably more than pays for itself with the calls changing (especially on that coaches end of the floor). Some thought it helps players play harder, I think it makes the refs “make up” for the call, especially when it is a Hall of Fame type coach.
It would be interesting to see an analysis done on calls before and after techs.
