Not saying that he said anything at all. The question is did he say anything. Cream had a funny expression on his face like what is happening now.
At first it certainly looked like he was taunting the IU bench, but when I went back and watched I think he was just staring up at our fans and didn't appear to say much of anything.
Crean just seemed to point his thumb backwards to try to draw some attention to it, being the dingus that he is.
I was sitting 10 rows behind IU's bench. From what I could tell Mason walked close to Crean staring at the crowd. Tom definitely turned his head to Mason and was saying something
I don't think Mason said a word...or at lease not from what I could see.
On a similar note, I really wish Mason would've ran into Crean when Mason had the ball and Crean was acting as a 6th defender standing in the middle of the court.

I can confirm. I was sitting 2 rows back by the bench. Crean said something along the lines of "Get back on the ****ing court".

Mason should have responded with "as soon as you get off the ****ing court"
I dislike Crean as much as the next guy, but I do not want to see my players strutting past him - almost bumping him after the whistle - as they showboat or whatever. I thought the combustible Crean did an amazing job to contain himself during Mason's antics. You simply do not take steps towards an opposing coach, it's garbage. I am also embarrassed by so much of the crap people (fans) yell at coaches like Crean... it lowers the bar of decency.

Yelling "get back on the f***ing court" is an amazing job of containing oneself from Mason's "antics" of staring at the home crowd?
Yes, you understood me correctly. If I were coach Pitino then Nate Mason would be running man-makers to the point of puking at this afternoon's practice. The players should not be given the license to act in that fashion. Do you let your kids jaw-jack the neighbor guy who's a little nutty? Great parenting. Do you condone the Anaheim Duck who slashed the linesman for a bad puck drop? What the hell, let's let the players go freakin' crazy and make all of this less about the sport and more about the SHOW! Give me a break.

You're that guy that all the kids in the neighborhood hate because you always go bonkers when someone accidentally throws/kicks/hits a ball in your yard...
Go to bed Metro, it's past your bed time.
Wrong. I'm the parent who doesn't allow his kids to berate the nutty neighbor who loses his mind when my kids' ball goes into his yard. The nutty neighbor and I (parent-to-parent/coach-to-coach) can hash it out, but my kids/players don't have the license to engage the nutjob. I hope this clears it up for you.

How old are your kids now? Just curious, because there's no way you're under the age of 90.
And there's the video from Unregistered User's post: Mason consciously chooses to continue sauntering past Crean to the IU bench, then he says something through the jersey, then he circles back around Crean in smug-ass fashion. Not a fan of those antics. He should have fist pumped and demonstrated a primal scream of joy where he was at, not approached Crean/IU bench. Period.
