BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Indiana coach Bill Lynch reverted to his more traditional form Tuesday.

He smiled, joked and seemed to enjoy being back in more friendly territory than Michigan Stadium.

It was a stark contrast from the man the nation saw tossing his headset, storming down the field and flinging a piece of chewing gum toward the stands after an official's call set him off late in Saturday's 36-33 loss at Michigan.

Yes, Lynch still disagrees with the original decision and the subsequent choice to not overturn it on replay, but he also understands that the Hoosiers must put that game — and that indelible rant — out of their collective minds this week.

"It's Buckeyes Saturday night, that's what we're focused on," Lynch said, dipping his head during the coach's weekly news conference. "That's part of the game, we've all been through it, and I think as players and coaches you've got to move on."

Clearly, Lynch has plenty of reasons to look toward this weekend with No. 9 Ohio State coming to town.

The Buckeyes (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) have pitched back-to-back shutouts since their 18-15 loss to Southern Cal. Lynch wants to see how the Hoosiers (3-1, 0-1) respond to their first loss of the season, and Indiana faces an opponent that holds a 14-game winning streak in this series, dating to 1988.

Heck, a victory would even make everyone forget about what happened at Michigan — and any lingering ramifications, such as potential disciplinary action. Big Ten spokesman Scott Chipman said Tuesday the conference did not intend to do anything to Lynch.

As for whether the gum hit a fan?

"I haven't been called by any lawyer or anything like that at this point," Lynch joked. "I have no idea. Oh, boy.”
