Monmouth and Iona scuffle

Iona's coach, Tim Cluess, is a bitch. Dude talks shite about the bench of Monmouth. Sure the Monmouth bench does some pretty immature celebrations but they're funny and these are kids. The coach needs to be a grown arse man and coach his team and not worry about the celebration of the opponents bench.

Can you give a little more context on what actually happened?

Iona coach called out Monmouth bench saying "they don't do anything on the court" and their antics are "ridiculous"
Iona loses to Monmouth and they are sore losers about it

is annoying as hell. When they got their 15 minutes I was all in and going with it, but now it's just like ok, we get it...here's your attention.

Iona didn't handle getting its arse whipped very well at all. Id suspect any and all suspensions are coming Ionas way since they had a player slap a Monmouth player.

Was one of the more insane scoring second halves I've ever seen. Monmouth scored 66 pts in thr 2nd half. It was unreal. There was a flagrant that led to the after game scuffle. The player who committed the flagrant got slaped. Iona coach is a bitch but so is King Rice.
English is a baller by the way.

I'm split down the middle on this. Iona acted like little bitches and you have to be above that...but Jesus Monmouth is annoying. Like it was said before, at first I laughed and was like "holy shite look at these dudes." Now after half the season is played, they still get talked about OVER basketball and it's just simply annoying. Monmouth has some very good players on their team, and they get overshadowed by some walk-ons who do silly antics to draw more and more attention to themselves.

It's a tired act at this point.

That Monmouth coach didn't impress me with the wink and the kiss afterward either.

I am not sure that Tim Cluess ever made any comments about the Monmouth bench. The quote that has been attributed to him about Monmouth is a retweet from a guy named Dan Koob, a stinger for Fios 1 sports. Cluess is a pretty quiet guy and is all business. I have never heard him say a derogatory word about an opposing player(s). He lets his coaching do the talking. Since coming to Iona (his first D-1 job) he has 20+ wins in each of his five seasons and has gone to the post season in each. It was under his leadership that Iona received its first at large bid. If he did make a derogatory comment about Monmouth players (or bench) I believe that the administration will take whatever steps are appropriate.
I believe that the poor sportsmanship that took place at the end of the game had nothing to do with any alleged comments, it had to do with bad feelings between the two teams. Last season, Monmouth’s first good season in the MAAC, the teams split the regular season. Iona smacked Monmouth in the MAAC semis. There were words exchanged between King Rice and Tim Cluess.
Last night’s game was physical with a lot of trash talk. In the first half, Iona’s point guard, Ibn Muhammad, was “T”ed up at the same time as Monmouth’s coach, King Rice for exchanging words. In the second half Monmouth’s Chris Brady (the guy who Jordan Washington slapped after the game) was called for a flagrant technical.
While it's a shame that Iona's 26 home game win streak has been snapped, I am embarrassed that a fight broke out after the game. The antics of the Monmouth bench, the taunting of the crowd by King Rice during and after the game, and even the spitting on the court by the Monmouth players before they left the floor do not justify throwing a punch or a slap. Tim Cluess has not waited for the MAAC or the NCAA to impose sanctions, he has already suspended Jordan Washington for the next two games. We will miss his inside presence. I wonder how King Rice will handle his players. Then, again, that's not my concern.
Go Gaels!!!
