I haven't said my thinking but this is kinda my thought. I don't think Jones is making anything up. Jones acted like anyone would have acted in that situation. Pedon acted like anyone would have acted in that situation because we have to remember where Pedon as with fans were upset at all the fouls called, to where Pedon thought he was standing up for his team in the heat of the battle. The refs messed up the entire situation by not telling the kids to go back to the bench and bringing both coaches together and telling them then. Without A (the comment), you don't get B (Jones reaction) and then you don't get C (Pedon reaction). All of which was mishandled by the refs.
After the game and in postgame I wish Pedon would've made a better comment whether told to or not told to. I wish Jones would've taken Pedon phone call and heard him out like an adult. Problem is with how loud Horton was and fans upset at the refs, Pedon upset and the refs and what's being alleged there isn't a way Pedon could've heard Jones bc Pedon was yelling back at Jones, 3,5000 fans screaming bouncing of the metal and Jones yelling at Pedon and it turned into a big mess.
All of this/that is over with though and whether we know what happened or not I can actually say I am ready to move on and move onto basketball and game Sunday vs NDSU. This team is fun to watch with how hard they play for each other and a lot of other reasons. We might not know or get told what happened with the fans and #6 and I am ok with that bc whatever ISU finds or posts, it won't look good. It's time to move on with basketball though and watch this team grow with how hard they play for each other.
