Talk about making the game and moment about you while looking to be noticed. If one of my partners did that, I would call them out on it.

How do you know if the player was respectful?

Absolutely horrific action by the official. I found hilarious that the player then did not give him the ball and placed it on the floor. The player won that situation IMO.

He did not ask for the ball and it was a timeout. IJS.

Peace

Watch the full clip Jeff, Teddy turns back around and asks for the ball with his hands. The player starts to give it to him, then puts it on the ground.

For 99.9% of officials, doing this will get them in trouble.

For Teddy, the rules are different. Whether that’s fair or not is a different debate, but he’s “earned” the privilege to do things his own way. There’s a reason Teddy continues to work high-profile games and go deep into the postseason.

That was an unbelievable display of unprofessional behavior. Someone else called it "childish"...I agree. Definitely over-the-top ego driven.

I would never turn my back on anyone like that in a game - unless someone was throwing a punch or a clip board at me.

Why was Berry complaining to Teddy Valentine about that missed call? When are players and coaches going to quit complaining to the referees who have nothing to do with the play in question? And Teddy asked for the ball and Berry chose instead to complain, so Valentine turned his back.

And if Valentine was wrong, that means he was wrong no matter what the status of the player was. What does being a 4-year player or a national championship point guard have to do with the conversation?

Most players aren't smart enough to realize what ref was where and who's call it was. He was just looking to ask one of the officials and Ted V pulled that garbage move. He could have simply said "I didn't see it and talk to the guy that was close to the play" etc. etc. etc.

Terrible move and look for officials!

He might lose a game or two in that conference and will quickly fill those spots elsewhere.

Probably trying to avoid a technical foul and he would've been better off just letting the kid talk and whacking him.

Teddy's been at the top as long as I can remember. I remember watching the Bobby Knight incident live as it happened -- that was 20 years ago.

He'll be just fine and someday there'll be another thread like this. Shrug.

No real way to know what he was "trying to avoid"... However, I have never seen an official at this way. None of us would want a player or coach to act this way with us and we certainly wouldn't encourage any official on any level to behave this way.


He was wrong!
