RebKell's Junkie Boards

While Iowa is in the midst of embarrassing poor Rider, Lisa Bluder became incensed over a hard foul that wasn't called a shooting foul. With about 3:30 left, and up a mere 47, Bluder stormed on the court and managed to get herself a T.

Up 47? And you're complaining because your kid didn't get to the line? If the stress level is already this high at Iowa, it's going to be a long season.

(This, however, was only second on my list of favorite Ts. Cheryl Miller once got one while coaching at Phoenix after riding the refs unmercifully through most of the second half. The Mercury were en route to shooting 41 free throws to their opponents' eight.)

And by the way, the Hawkeyes held on to win 88-41 in the loser's bracket of the USF Odwalla Classic ...

Doesn't surprise me. Bluder has looked about ready to pop a blood vessel by 15:00 in the second half every time her Hawkeyes have come to Williams Arena.

But is she a good coach?
