The only punishment I know of that came out of that game was the comments Valentine said to Referee Magazine. I am not aware of any other situations that game out of that game.

Did you ever read about the out burst between Ted Valentine and Ed Hightower in the locker romm? Also, I have a picture that shows Ed Hightower consoling Bobby Knight.

I have no clue what happen specifically that night. I heard that was the perception others got out of the game, but I have never seen or had that explained. I think Hightower like many other offiicals try to calm down a coach from getting further Ts. I have done this myself for most of my career and have been taught accordingly. But I am beginning to back off from that philosophy.

Well I saw both up close and personal at the Big Ten Tournament this past year. Both are very good officials and do a good job. I have watched Hightower at the last 4 tournaments alone. This year was the first time I ever saw Valentine in person. I would go to war with both of them. I think both are at the top of the profession and are well respected by both coaches.
Peace
