And I would detest him even if he were the worst coach, or the best coach, in college basketball history.
On the sacred wood, I want Marsha beaten, beaten badly, beaten often, and beaten by all those that know how to beat a coach that let's one of his star players elbows be attacked viciously by another team's star player's nose.
It was inexcusable that Marsha appeared to let his player's elbow be attacked without retaliation, or appeals to the referees to stop KU from further endangering his players elbows with their noses.
It was cowardly of Marsha NOT to defend his star player and his star player's elbow and demand a flagrant foul be called on Perry Ellis for cheap shotting Marsha's star by "nosing" him.
"Nosing" an opposing player's elbow is one of the most dangerous forms of cheap shotting in basketball and should never be allowed.
Marsha should always be held in contempt for what he apparently tolerated. Marsha's players depend on Marsha for guidance and protection from "nosing." They need him to stand up for the safety of their elbows. It was negligent of him not to let his star player retaliate by "nosing" Perry Ellis' elbow.
When my father played basketball back in the late 1930s, and when I played in the early 1970s, coaches and players would have considered it a team's duty to go out and "nose" several opposing players subsequently, unless the referees had done their duties, and had ejected the star player that "nosed" first Clearly, Perry Ellis appeared in the video to have "nosed" the Wichita player's elbow without provocation. .
Marsha broke a cardinal unwritten rule of basketball IMHO, when he did not order one of his players to retaliate by "nosing" one of Perry Ellis' teammates that replaced Perry when Perry left the game self-injured from "nosing" one of Marsha's star players.
I believe the basketball gods are just and that some day Marsha and one of his team's players will pay the price for what Marsha apparently allowed to happen to his star player's elbow.
An elbow, like a brain, is a terrible thing to waste.
Nosing should be outlawed once and for all.
Chalk Rock!
