WATCH: NCAA coach loses it, yells at ref only to get slapped with technical foul

Sportsmanship in women’s college basketball has been an area of ​​concern lately due to a significant increase in technical fouls. The NCAA reports that last season a total of 830 technical fouls were called, which was a substantial increase from the previous year’s tally of 606. Interestingly, bench players saw a remarkable 193% increase in technical fouls, while head coaches experienced a 77% increase in surge. To solve this problem, all coaches had to watch an hour-long film on sportsmanship during the offseason.

Although the NCAA has previously issued memos on sportsmanship and coaches are mandated to view the film every offseason, this year’s emphasis on the topic is notable. However, despite these efforts, another technical foul was noted during a game in New Hampshire when a coach demonstrated unsportsmanlike behavior after his players took a knee.

Injury and Ire found themselves on a foul

Unfortunately, things changed during the second quarter. It appeared that the block was clean, with the defender maintaining verticality. However, the player landed on the defender’s foot or landed incorrectly, causing an injury. Hogan, the Hamshire coach, then yelled at the referee, resulting in a technical foul.

Moving on to the St. Joseph’s Hawk Classic tournament, the UNH Wildcats emerged victorious over the Wagner Seahawks. The game saw three guards set career records: Breezie Williams, a sophomore from Canton, Ohio; Belen Morales Lopez, a senior guard from Alicante, Spain; and Maggie Cavanaugh, a freshman guard from Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey.

After the game, Wagner’s overall record fell to 2-9 (0-0 Northeast Conference), while the Wildcats’ record improved to 6-7 (0-0-AE).

The importance of Kenzie Matulonis

Coach Hogan praised Kenzie for her exceptional skills. She says Kenzie’s level of tenacity and competitiveness fits perfectly with the Wildcat Way. Her IQ and ability to succeed make her an invaluable asset to the program.

Kenzie has started all eleven games and leads the club in GPA (28.3) and is tied for first in steals (17). She ranks second on the team in assists (23) and is tied for second in rebounds (41). In the season opener against the University of New England on November 6, she had a season-high six assists, five steals and eight points.
