An Iowa fan and his phone got up close and personal with Nebraska head coach Fred Hoiberg Tuesday night. 

Hoiberg was not having it. He smacked the phone out of the fan's hand as Iowa fans rushed the court during the postgame handshake line. He also inadvertently smacked an Iowa staffer in the back of his head on his follow through. Hoiberg and the Iowa staffer quickly made nice.

Video from the stands captured the incident.

The fan whose phone got smacked captured first-person footage.

The unidentified fan — or someone nearby — screamed "nice game, buddy" in Hoiberg's face just prior to the smack.

Hoiberg's Cornhuskers were fresh off a 57-52 loss to the Hawkeyes. It was their fourth loss in six games following a 20-0 start. He was in no mood to be taunted.

As of Wednesday afternoon, there was no announced discipline for Hoiberg. Per the Lincoln Journal Star, Nebraska athletics declined a request for comment on the incident and referred questions to the Big Ten office. The Big Ten has yet to address the incident publicly. 

Iowa responds

Iowa released a statement Wednesday afternoon addressing the court storm and the fan. 

"Unfortunately, an individual gained access to the court through a restricted area, directly confronting coach Hoiberg and putting Nebraska players, coaches and staff in a reactive situation," the statement reads.

"We apologize for this incident and will conduct a review of our procedures and security measures to determine what adjustments may be needed to further strengthen our protocols and help prevent similar incidents in the future."

More court storming drama

Tuesday's court storm was the latest to raise the ire of a prominent head coach. 

Duke head coach Jon Scheyer claimed after a last-second road loss to rival North Carolina on Feb. 7 that a member of his coaching staff "got punched in the face" in the ensuing court storm, leaving him with a bloody lip. 

There's so far been no footage or evidence to confirm Scheyer's account, prompting Orange County District Attorney, Jeff Nieman — a UNC graduate — to dispute Scheyer's claim. 

Tempers are flaring across college basketball, and it's not even March yet. 

Steve Lavin is out as the University of San Diego men's basketball coach following an 11-17 start to the season, On3's Pete Nakos reports.

The former UCLA and St. John's head coach joined the Toreros for the 2022-23 season. Under his watch, USD produced one winning season in four, an 18-15 campaign in 2023-24. USD fell to 6-27 last season and was off to a 5-10 start in WCC play prior to Wednesday's news of his dismissal.

Lavin's dismissal concludes far the worst coaching stint of his career after he previously found relative success with two traditional basketball powers.

Lavin, 61, coached UCLA for seven seasons from 1996-2003. The Bruins made the NCAA tournament in each of his first six seasons. UCLA fired him after a 10-19 campaign in 2002-03, his first and only with a losing record with the Bruins. UCLA went 145-78 under Lavin, but never advanced beyond the Elite Eight.

Lavin returned to head coaching with St. John's in 2010. St. John's went 92-72 with Lavin as head coach and made the NCAA tournament twice in five seasons — his first and his last. St. John's tournament appearance in 2011 under Lavin was its first in nine seasons as Lavin helped return the previously proud program to relevance.

Per the school, Lavin and St. John's mutually agreed to part ways following a first-round NCAA tournament exit in 2015. Program icon Chris Mullin took his place. 

In between his coaching stints, Lavin has worked as a college basketball broadcast analyst. 

Dual moguls are chaos. 

Japan's Ikuma Horishima botched his landing on his last jump in the men's round of 16 Sunday at the Milan Cortina Olympics, then bounced back up to ski backward over the finish line. And he still won. 

Despite the mishap, Horishima still crossed the finish line first ahead of USA's Nick Page and eventually advanced to the event's gold-medal race. There he finished behind Canada's Mikaël Kingsbury to win silver in the first ever men's dual moguls competition at the Olympics. Australia's Matt Graham won the consolation final to secure bronze. 

Here's how it happened. Horishima, skiing on the right in the video below, started to lose control of his run after the first of two jumps. But he didn't miss a gate and recovered in time to hit the ramp for his second jump.

He crash landed on the jump, but maintained his downhill momentum and popped back up skiing backward before the finish line, where he crossed just ahead of Page. 

It turned out that he didn't need to cross first as Page missed a gate during his own rocky run and was disqualified. As long as Horishima completed a legal run, he would be declared the winner.

It added up to the second wild dual moguls finish in as many days.

One of the women's semifinals on Saturday saw similar chaos. In that race, USA's Jaelin Kauf crashed early, and appeared to be done. But her competitor, France's Perrine Laffont, missed one of her gates and was disqualified. Kauf got back up from her crash and eventually crossed the finish line to secure the win due to Laffont's disqualification.

Like Horishima on Sunday, Kauf rode her good fortune to a silver medal, her second of the Games and third in Olympic competition.
