You know its a "do or die" game, and its evident Texas is going to lose - obviously Texas' Coach is going to be upset. With that knowledge couldn't you T him once, walk away shoot the throws and finish the 3.9. Instead it looked like he stayed for a conversation that looked reasonable and ended up tossing the coach.

With all that being said, Barnes may have said, "You're going to have to toss me you___________!!! Fill in your own mean words.

That's the point. Barnes may have said something to Valentine after the initial T- maybe asked him a reasonable question- and Valentine decided to stay there and hear him out. Also maybe Valentine WAS 100% wrong in the way that he handled this play, too.But we basically don't know. We can't judge the guy without knowing the whole story. That just isn't fair to him. And, like or hate his style, the guy is still a good official imo.
