I have tired of reading this thread and decided to just post my thoughts. Hope they aren't repetitive of other viewpoints.
The kick should have been immediately called a technical. ISU shouldn't have got fouled and got 2 freethrows. Redbirds got 2 more points than if the game was propperly reffed. I don't care if he kicked Cottons shin...it was deliberate!
WSU players and coaches are stupid, classless jerks.
Both these viewpoints were expressed in my house unanimously in real time.
