TEMPE, Ariz. -- Tommy Lloyd and Bobby Hurley met near midcourt during pregame, exchanging pleasantries, patting each other on the back.
An afternoon of chirping and a late headbutt sent the coaches in opposite directions by the time the rivalry game was over.
Frustrated with Arizona's constant chatter, Hurley waved Arizona State's players off the floor following the Wildcats' 81-72 road win on Saturday to prevent any further escalation.
"Right near our bench, it was relentless, constant chatter from a couple of Arizona's players that wasn't being policed properly," Hurley said. "Of course they're going to be happy with winning, but it was done with no class, in my opinion.
