NCAAM Ejection
Here's today's contribution from Deadspin, who's *always* anti-official:

Can someone tell me what he did on the first play that warranted a technical foul??

From what I gather from 2nd video, both T’s were for taunting. I didn’t see that in either clip. I’m not that level of Ref and won’t ever be but the 2nd one for sure looked pretty suspect.

This was all over ESPN and all of the announcers/telecasters were shocked and could not figure out why the player received any technicals. I saw nothing that warranted any technical foul.

I'm quite sure Louisiana Tech's head coach was informed of why he received the technicals. What did the coach say in the post-game interview?

Not to derail the OT, but posting a pic of a man and his daughter and calling her a prostitute is going too far

I love how everyone is so quick to judge without any knowledge of what the player might have said.

True but just going off the knowledge we glean from the video. For me, I did not see taunting acts. He may have said something taunting and if so, good enough. But I will agree with the commentator that I do not believe that Davis could have seen that or heard it better from the 28ft line than the lead did right next to the play.

The second one was obvious to me. He pointed at his opponent. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro |

Regardless, even if he did point, what was said or done for the first one? Deadspin does a lot wrong but don't blame this one on them. |
Well, I think many of us would take the experience and conferences these guys work any day of the week. This was basically an "off night" for the officials in question and likely could have been at some other major conference in the country in the middle of the country. If the official that is talking to the coach saw something or knows something, he is making that clear. I doubt seriously there was not a well-known reason he was ejected from the game.
And until I hear the officials were suspended or fired from the league, I am pretty sure there is more to the story. This was just the final straw. Peace |
Why would anyone--except a blogger or fanboy--seriously think experienced officials would make stuff up?

Nice to see Deadspin being it's usual sewer self. :rolleyes:

I remember one of my first technical was in a high school game when a player blocked a shot and then did that primal type yell after. He did it in the face of the opponent too much though and I gave him a T. Coach was fine with it. After thinking about it I wasn't sure if it was directed at the player he blocked, maybe it wasn't directed. If players want to let out a shout, show some emotion I'm fine as long as it is not directed or crosses some line to warrant a T. I can't hear what was said on the first, but I don't see it being a technical.
The second one is easy. He pointed. Trying to be Shawn Kemp, easy T That 360 Dunk he did is sweet though! |
