Say Good Knight
I don't know if this was a Big 10 rule, completely made up, or the NCAA policy. I remember watching that game live on an NCAA package I had at the time. In my opinion, O'Neill and Hightower threw Valentine under the bus unlike any other situation I'd ever seen. |

started officiating basketball in 1978 and who by 1979 worked his first Division I game." (emphasis added)
