In response to PennFan10
There is a big difference between a coach working the officials to get an edge vs. fans "crying" about a loss due to referee calls. I understand that as fans we are disappointed when a team loses a very tough game therefore someone may respond emotionally and blame the refs but Penn had every opportunity to win this game independent of ref calls. A great coach from the past, always told his team that the results of the game are in your hands not in the hands of a ref so do not blame them when you lose, i.e. 4 for 11 from the FT line, 18 turnovers.
It seems like Quaker and Lion fans are far more prone to blame referees and others for losses than other Ivy League teams based on postings on this web site over the years.
With that said, the Penn players and coaches deserve much credit for give the Tigers everything they had -- it was very impressive.
