BenFred: It’s past time to call foul on some college basketball coaches' conduct

Sports columnist

I recently saw a video of Marquette coach Shaka Smart out on the floor in a defensive stance during a game against Creighton. Not on the sideline. On the court. When a Creighton player had the ball near him, he waved his arms above his head and shuffled toward the player as if coming in for the trap.
