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?

Why does he keep getting big games from multiple supervisors?

Because he’s a good play caller.

Doesn’t justify his unnecessary antics.

Cause everyone *in the game* wants him there.

Always funny seeing fans and HS refs think their opinions mean anything.

I'd kill for Ted's longevity and career.

I don't agree with how he handled the situation.

We don't want players showing us up and we shouldn't be showing them up either!
I'm kinda late to this discussion...but wow, this is just a BAD look regardless of circumstances leading up to it OR Teddy's status as a top NCAA official IMO. I'd love to know what kind of feedback he got from his assigner.

TV Teddy Video and comments?

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.

Did it ever occur to you that they do not care about his so-called "antics?" This is something officials that struggle working a big game in their area like to complain about. But wonder why certain guys get games over them and claim there is some level of "professionalism" that seems to be maintained. I have been officiating for a long time and I have seen officials at all levels do all kinds of things that would be seen as "unprofessional" but it works and does not hurt their schedules.

Peace

I think there's a difference that some of us on here refuse to acknowledge.

No, it will not hurt him professionally and he will fill his dates even if he loses games. He doesn't care what people think and obviously his supervisors don't either, and they're the ones that matter.

Yes, it was unnecessary and makes the officiating profession look bad.

It can be both things, and I feel like both are true. Media, fans, etc don't need any more ammo than they already have, and things like this give them that ammo.

If we are using the media and fans as a barometer of what makes us look bad, we "look bad" when we simply T up a player. Jay Bilas goes on and on about calls that he thinks are not good and says that officials do certain things they should not do. Rarely does he ever put things on the coaches or the administrators that actually make the rules or even the administrators that want things to be a certain way. We do not need this incident to make anything change in the perception. This is ultimately about Teddy and what he did. And still, the problem is that the media thinks that because of the kid's resume' we are supposed to feel a certain way about a player, but not the resume' or even the background of the official. All you have to do is watch SportsCenter every day and see a highlight package and every call is scrutinized as if the officials are idiots or do not know what their job is, so I just laugh when people point to things like this as if perception has changed or will change.

Peace

As good as he is, he's done some silly stuff. This wasn't blown up, he did it. He'll recover because he is good, but that doesn't mean what he did was acceptable.

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!

We are held to a higher standard than the players... The players are held to a higher standard than the average kid in the history or Algebra class etc.

This behavior is just wrong.

Teddy might be better served to admit he could have handled this situation a little differently and move on...
There is nothing basketball-related/officiating-related he can say that will provide a good defense for this behavior.
