Checking out Pat Forde’s “Forde Minutes” yesterday, I was rather amused to see Siena Coach Fran McCaffery’s wife needs a lesson in bench decorum — and that they were both ejected from a game in 2006. The best part? Siena’s nickname is the Saints!

Fortunately, I read on and was treated with another tidbit.

Spies tell The Minutes that a Big East coach who shall remain nameless (38) recently got into a halftime argument with one of his assistants in a hallway outside the locker room. According to a source, it escalated to the point where punches were thrown.

I know it wasn’t Bob Huggins. It just wasn’t. We’d know about it. Either he would have made a joke about it in his postgame press conference and grouped it among his halftime adjustments or someone would have come forth with the blow-by-blow and been proud of the winner. That’s how these Mountaineers are wired.

We’ll probably know after the season when a coach is fired or loses an assistant or assistants. I have a not-so-wild guess because I can’t believe how this man coaches and figured it was a matter of time until someone had enough. Perhaps some beat writers will press the players, who are probably done following the leader and might divulge the dust-up.
