IU coach Tom Crean could see it in his team.
He could sense IU reaching the point where it surrenders a large lead to end the first half. But there was nothing he could do as his team trailed -- except take his frustrations out on the referees.
Crean was held back by guard Verdell Jones after he received a second technical foul and was ejected for the first time in his tenure as IU coach.
The Hoosiers were behind big in their 78-46 loss to Wisconsin when Crean became irate with an official near the scorers table during the biggest loss ever at Assembly Hall.
He was not quick to speak about the technical foul after the game, not mentioning it once in his opening statements.
"People are used to a certain thing," he said. "And there is going to be a mentality that we're going to play with, that I'm going to coach with"
