Frank is classy

When dougenduro (msp?) got his hooking/charging foul, everyone knew that while it was the correct call, you probably don't foul out the best player on his team with a call like that. Sadler goes crazy, right or wrong. Frank observes the situation, that includes a 3-5 point lead, 2.5+ minutes left in the game, NU without any timeouts left, and the NU team in disarray. He knows that this is a situation where Sadler REALLY needs a timeout. He also knows that it was a BS call.
What does he do? Does he push his advantage and bury the team? No, our coach decides to call a timeout. Was this timeout really to argue that the ball should be thrown out on the side rather than the baseline? If it was, then why the full timeout?
Sadler knew this, that is why they had the extended talk and hug after the game. Frank even did it so no one thought that he was throwing Doc a bone, and thus saving him face. Doc knew it. I bet the players on our team knew it. And we weren't up by 20, it was a close game.
I bet every coach in this league knows it by this time, and I bet you will hear a lot of Frank supporters from fellow Big XII coaches over the next several years.
He's a good one fellow cat fans, I'm glad he's here.

easy to be classy when you're winning and their best player just fouled out. 

i have no idea how Doc didn't get T'd up at this time.  you think Frank pushing his players around, having to be held back by his assistants, and basically screaming obscenities at the refs constantly wouldn't have resulted in an early shower?

also, other posts in that thread have refuted galen's original post

What an amazing man

I mean really it is genius.  Frank is doing all he can to support his Northern SLTH'rs.

He called a time out to get Brown in and Anderson out.  The ref wouldn't let Brown sub in.  I have no idea why he wouldn't let him come in, but he sent Brown back to the scorers table and then Frank called the time out.

But, this does not reduce the classiness of Frank.

No way he did it for UNL, but it was good coaching. Like any good coach he wanted to make sure his players knew what he wanted on defense for the last 10 seconds.  Like "DON"T FOUL". Of course, Pullen apparently was't listening.

Frank's gotta stay - if there are any other offers: match them, lock Frank in to a long term deal. This could be the one way our crappy Athl Dept might be able to save face with their recent coaching "activities".

+1, Frank was pissed that that &@#%ing pussy Higgins would let Brown in without a timeout.

yes.  especially after the midget ref waived Brown in.  Higgins f'ing buries his c*ck deep in KSU's ass any chance he gets.  I enjoyed Franks comments after the game which were something like "we weren't just battling Nebraska out there, it was deeper than that, if you know what i mean".
