On not calling a technical on Okafor due to it being a big game - They should have T'd him up. What kind of a message does ignoring unsportmanlike conduct send to the other team? Players resepct for official has been lost. Natural to feel that if Okafor can cuss, we can too. Poor game management. I've heard some D1 officials say that as long as XXXX rated language is not specifically directed at them, they will not give technical. That is not my philosophy. How say you?
