Imho, everyone needs to dial it back and settle down. Dorn had a bad night.

However, he is still adjusting to the speed and physicality of American college basketball. Also trying to adjust to how referees here call games and rile variations. The later is made much more difficult by fact that for Providence and St. Joseph's we had good experienced referees who let them play. Whereas last two games we have had bottom of the pool referees who are less experienced and less confident. Likely try to prove themselves by calling anything and everything especially it it is a point of emphasis. Young based on his comments seemed to want to light a bit of a fire 🔥 under Dorn. MY is good coach and Dorn is mature experienced guy, my bet is he will respond and with time adjust to American game. Obviously the sooner the better, but be happy Gurdak had a break out night that has earned him more PT. He is ahead of expectations. Dorn behind at this point 5 games in. It is still early. Patience mirror MY presser attitude.

Does anyone have replays of Dorn’s flagrants? Couldn’t see them from stands**

Doesn’t seem like Coach Young is too happy about them. **

His presser quote was Gurdak was as good as Dorn was bad. Ouch!
TomTurkey 11/20/25 12:24 PM ET
Yeah, but Gurdak jumps no higher than David Teel!**

Paul Silas was a leading rebounder for the Celtics for years
BigDaddyHokie 11/20/25 03:54 PM ET
That was hilarious. And Teel got the 2nd or 3rd question.**

Don't have a replay, but here's a description

Apparently Dolph Lundgren doesn't care for trash talk?!?**

Nothing severe, klutzy perhaps, but both were somewhat weak calls.**
TechAtty 11/20/25 08:21 AM ET
Both are fully within the NCAA rules for ALL sports
AirborneHokie96 11/20/25 08:31 AM ET
Within the rules? Yes. Somewhat weak? Yes.**
marcbvtgm 11/20/25 03:06 PM ET
Correct. They were legit calls. Actins were not egregious, but careless.**
jesuisvtguy 11/20/25 08:39 AM ET
big galoot stuff, where he needs to be more cognizant of his size**
ad nauseam 11/20/25 08:28 AM ET
Yeah, he needs to remember that he's a man playing against boys.

No video, sorry, but Dorn looks a bit klutzy, throwing elbows around.

Gurdak outweighs him by 30 lbs and only 2" shorter.
chagerma 11/20/25 11:04 AM ET
Can't disagree with that. **
VTexas 11/20/25 11:17 AM ET
Agreed deserved. I don't think they were intentional, he's just a giant.**
4dhokies 11/20/25 08:22 AM ET
Yes, he'll figure it out.**
