Bobby Hurley called a timeout mid-way through the second half of Saturday’s game against rival No. 17 Arizona (11-3, 1-0).
His team was on the ropes, Arizona big man Dusan Ristic just walked to the basket for an uncontested dunk, putting the Wildcats up 12 in what would eventually be a 84-78 win.
The Arizona State players walked to the sideline, but Hurley paid little attention. He used the extra time to get face-to-face with the refs, crucifying them, looking for any explanation about the calls against his team.
The redder Hurley’s face got, the louder the pleas from the McKale Center crowd to give ASU’s head coach a technical foul got.
