Lorenzo Romar could live with a little showboating after unleashing a Huskies full-court press on Oregon State, which sparked renewed exuberance in the Washington men’s basketball team that had been missing during its previous two outings.
So when Carlos Johnson drew a technical foul after a chin-up dunk during Saturday’s 87-61 victory, the UW coach motioned the freshman guard to the sideline for a quick chat.
However, minutes later David Crisp drew Romar’s ire when his pass off the glass to Markelle Fultz turned a sure-fire fastbreak layup into an ugly turnover.
Romar lost his cool and his suit jacket while chewing out Crisp, who spent the rest of the half on the bench.
