ESPN's Dan Dakich Gets In Twitter Fight With Mayor Of Champaign
During yesterday's win over Michigan State, Illinois guard Jaylon Tate received a technical foul for aggressively boxing out Travis Trice right after Trice had shot a free-throw. ESPN broadcaster and talking head Dan Dakich tweeted his thoughts about the play:
Okay, cool, thank you for expressing your opinion, Dan. No need for anyone to get upset about this—oh wait, here comes the mayor of Champaign, Ill.
It's always a good idea to start a Twitter argument by stating your youth basketball coaching credentials. You can probably figure out where this is going.
Twitter is weird.
