TV Teddy Video and comments?

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!
