Knight still clueless

Not that I'm surprised, but this was funny nonetheless.....

Tennessee/South Carolina game on ESPN right now. Late in the first half, SC got called for goaltending. UT took one shot and missed, another UT player gets the rebound and goes up for a shot. Shot clearly hits the backboard first followed by a SC player swatting it. Official in the C calls the violation and counts the basket. Knight claims that it isn't the right call and wants a replay. They show the replay and it is even more clear that the SC player touched it after it hit the backboard. He still said they missed it and that it was on the way up. Someone needs to tell Knight that he doesn't know the college rule about goaltending.

Another good one: L gives the ball to TN on an OOB violation. One of the other two came in and let him know they had it off of TN instead. Knight informs us that the other official "overruled" the official that called it. Said that the non-calling official must be 100% sure to "overrule" the other official. Said nothing about telling him what you have and let him decide with the info you give.
