Former Quaker Fran McCaffery throws tantrum during Iowa blowout

 

For those who questioned Penn coach Jerome Allen's dramatic mid-court coaching moment with Zack Rosen late in Penn's win over Columbia this weekend, two words: that's nothing.

Former Penn point guard and assistant coach Fran McCaffery, now head man at Iowa, made a stir recently with this little tantrum after he was given a technical foul while his team was down 28 points to No. 7 Michigan State. Stick with the video all the way to see a chair flying:

USA Today is reporting that the Big 10 actually contacted McCaffery's supervisor (Iowa's athletic director) to let McCaffery know that "The conference does not expect similar conduct in the future," though it was not looking for an apology.

For his part, McCaffery said after the incident that he doesn't regret his behavior. "If anybody thinks I'm going to sit there with my hands crossed when we're down by 40 (points), they've got the wrong guy," He told the Des Moines Register.

The technical was the coach's fifth this season. He is in his second year with Iowa after five successful seasons at Siena.
