Everybody knows Marshall wears his emotions on his sleeves. A coach in that situation who didn't get mad sure wouldn't have made me feel that great if they were my coach. His reaction made it seem like he cared. Fighting all the way back for a lead, down 20 in the 2nd half, as the No.7 seed over the heavily favored No.2 seed and only to lose on a shot that had time running issues surely is a bit understandable. Don't ya think?
I get that, but look at how McD acted after getting jobbed by a blown call on a half court three pointer that was shown to have occurred after the light/horm had sounded against Iowa State - the team he coached the year before - and you'll see how a coach can show he cared about the game while maintaining composure. I bet Mac wanted that game every bit as much as Marshall wanted his - maybe more. I was happier with the way Mac acted than I would have been if he had thrown a hissy fit.
I think one could argue ending your season on a call like that is worse. The fact that we came back from some huge deficit also amplified it.
Very true!
