Actually on that play, I would hope that the official in the couple seconds after the play and seeing what Collins was doing would recognize that they probably missed that call and not COMPOUND the mistake by calling a T, but would instead look towards the court and ignore it. Missing the BI is one thing and human, but if all Collins was doing was coming out a few feet onto the floor like I see many coaches do the entire season w/o penalty, but was also motioning what he had seen and not using profanity towards the official, than that was poor game management in my view. I know that about 10% of you will agree with this, but I believe most fans players and coaches would agree...maybe not officiating supervisors lol.

And what do you think the odds are of that second part, thedewed?

I'm guessing you're not an official.

The Kansas loss just doomed me to another yr of congratulating my son on a better bracket than his old man! Harumph!

Anyone watching the TCU-UCF game on ESPN right now? I think the R is Earl Walton -- whoever he is had the worst toss to start a game I have ever seen. Threw it away from Tacko Fall.

At about the 1250 mark in second half of said game, there is a textbook example on how a block/charge should be resolved by the L and C who both whistled the action---of special note was the "pause" and then "verification" and then the "signal".

OK. Here are two references to read. I consider the matter closed.

And here.

As a fanboy I feel it is my duty to point out that UK was called for 5.26% more fouls than UNC (19 to 18) and the reffing is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent. Just saw it live sry.

And then there are the jokers who have been around long enough for us to recognize their sarcasm.
