TV Teddy Video and comments?

[Hawkeyes]

Video request
TV Teddy ignores and refused to address North Carolina guard Joel Berry as Berry was arguing he was fouled in the open court. Anyone else think Valentine looked silly when he made an exaggerated gesture and turned his back to Berry?

[JRutledge]

What is there to comment on? The player was arguing and he decided not to talk to him. Might not be the way I would have done it, but I am not in his position either. And him being a 4-year player means nothing to me. That kid might not even make the NBA and why would an official give a damn about who he is anyway?

Peace

Yes, it was silly, childish even.

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 was on his side until I saw the video. That was pretty douchey.

I'm pretty sure I agree. The thing we don't know is if the kid had been a whiney PITA for the whole game, trying to argue every call. If that had been the case, I can maybe almost kinda see that you want to send the message that you are absolutely done trying to talk with him.

Even then, I'm pretty sure I don't like the folding the arms. It really made him look stupid.

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.

To face the end of the gym and crowd, and not even act like you are looking at the other players, or looking at a coach, or looking at something on the court related to the game is absurd. What a d-bag move. I don't care how good he thinks he is or how good his reputation is. That was an a-hole move. The player was trying to talk to him respectfully and he pulled that move. 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.

That says a lot about you then if you would laugh when your partner did that.

Yes. It would say that I thought it was so ridiculous that it's funny.

And I am sure he does not give a crap what we think here about his actions. I know I wouldn't. You nor I were there. We do not know what was said, we do not know what else happened to even have any confrontation. And if that offends some, that is their issue. I walk away from players all the time, is that unprofessional? I a might not have turned my back, but they see my back. And guess what, there are people that get offended when I do that as if I have some obligation to talk to players about their concerns. Well I am a grown man and that means that kids (which are what most of us are officiating, even at the college level) are not on the same level as me as a man. So you cannot come to me and talk about respect when you do not show it in any way. Teddy was not the guy on the play, go to the other guy that was. And he put up both hands to indicate "I am not talking to you" and he continued until Teddy turned his back to him. And I am still waiting for the reasoning of who the kid is as if it matters. This would not even be an issue if Jay Bilas did not tweet about this.

Ted could spray an entire arena with elephant repellant, and his groupies would find justification when no elephants show up for the game.

Why does he keep getting big games from multiple supervisors?
