Tommy Lloyd and Bobby Hurley met near midcourt during pregame, exchanging pleasantries, patting each other on the back.An afternoon of chirping and a late headbutt sent the coaches in opposite directions by the time the rivalry game was over.Frustrated with Arizona's constant chatter, Hurley waved Arizona State's players off the floor following the Wildcats' 81-72 road victory Saturday to prevent any further escalation.
The officials reviewed the play for several minutes before deciding to eject Freeman as well.“Obviously, it's disappointing, — probably on all sides,' Lloyd said. 'When tough things happen, we want to be a program that responds with class, and I don't know if we did or didn't. But it was a tough moment in an emotional game. I've got a lot of respect for Bobby and Arizona State's players.”Hurley didn't have the same sentiment, at least in the heat of the aftermath.
