DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa coach Fran McCaffery wants ESPN color commentator Dan Dakich to apologize to Hawkeyes center Adam Woodbury for calling him “gutless” and “cowardly” during the broadcast an 82-50 loss to Wisconsin.

Dakich called out Woodbury after the center appeared to poke the eyes of Wisconsin’s Nigel Hayes and Frank Kaminsky in separate incidents Tuesday. McCaffery defended his player while blasting Dakich during the taping of his weekly radio show on Wednesday. ESPN did not immediately return a message seeking comment from Dakich.
