But Coach Johnson spent more time in front of the scorers table and on the playing court than inside the line. They might as well eliminate the line if they are not going to enfore it! Go Pack!

He had at least one thug on the team, and he should have been thrown out of game for going over to Scott Wood while shooting free threes and mouthing to him.

Johnson apparently does not know what the line on the sideline is for, and neither did that set of officials.  He lived outside of box and often on the court.

Does this mean Tyler Lewis is also a thug for giving it right back to Raines while burying said free throws?

People will buy video games centered on organized crime, with killing, rape and maiming, but have a problem with the usage of the word "thug", that is comical as the day is long.

Looking at what his team was doing, it is a reflection on him and his staff. They seemed to be doing "shady" stuff all night. And these weren't things the players were doing on their own, but things that had to be instructed by the coach or even practiced. They grabbed and shoved throughout the game as guys went across the lane. Then, they pulled that stunt where they gathered at the free throw line as Scott was about to shoot. Also, they did the illegal free throw put-back. All these things had to have been orchestrated by the staff. (There is no way players would think, on their own to stand right in front of the free throw line as a guy is about to shoot.) Now I understand guys trying to "gain an advantage", but what about sportsmanship and trying to beat someone man to man. Maybe I am biased, but I don't feel as though Gott pulls any stuff like this. He seems like a guy that plays "straight up" Was anyone else annoyed by this? Ok, rant over, haha....
