It takes two to fight. Either one of those officials could have just walked away from the argument and it wouldn't have spilled onto the court. Then the racial card gets played. Sounds like a guy who forgot that the game is about the kids.

I guess when people feel they are wronged they are never to bring up the reasons why they feel that way in your mind?
I do not agree with going to court but once again, if someone feels have been slighted, if they feel it is because of the color of their hair, they are every right to point that out. I also agree that this situation is going to hurt his career in the future. He will always be known as "that official" for the rest of his career. Unless he moves completely away from Kentucky that is a massive cross he will have to bear.

Was he not awarded this playoff game previously? Yes. Did the color of his skin prevent him from being awarded that game? No. But now he and another official get into an altercation that spreads onto the floor and is very unprofessional. He could have walked away and not let it become a big argument that everyone saw. It obviously embarrassed other officials and most certainly the tournament staff. They have the right to get rid of those officials. Both officials were removed. Good.
