Well boys......
I am sorry that you feel that Ted V's ego got in the way again last with the Xavier/Texas game, because you were not watching the same game or same highlights that I saw on television, plus you have probably not watched very many big 12 games either during the season. Barnes was his old and typical self last night whinning about everything and anything to the officials because he was losing. That is vintage Barnes when things do not go his way during a game. Barnes andhis Texas team was beat by a better team, and by a team that wanted the win more then Texas. Ted V's ego did not get in the way at all last night. Ted did the right thing on both 'T's' he gave to Barnes. Valentine issues the first T. Then he stays table side(because he felt alright with the situation and did not need the option of switching). Next, he politely listens to Barnes and tries to prevent Barnes from getting the second T, but then has no choice but to give the second T because of Barnes choice of language. |

No choice? Sure he had a choice.
He could have walked away.
But, the clock was stopped, the camera was on him and TV Teddy NEVER walks away when he can stay on camera. You think some third grader in Idaho gave him his nickname? TV Teddy knows when he can become the show and he never misses his chance. |

I don't really have any bias against Valentine, but I question whether he made a wise choice staying table-side after calling the first T. You have a favored team that's about to lose, and a coach who's lost it. Absolutely issue the first T - that was made apparent by what I saw on TV. But given the situation, why not bail, go opposite, and let the game play out.
We've all been in situations like this, where we KNOW we would've wound up tossing the coach if we'd stayed in the vicinity after whackin' him. Valentine's proximity to Barnes after the first T was such that I think if he goes opposite, then whatever he has to say to Valentine, he has to make such an *** of himself that 20,000 people see it too, and then if it's necessary, whack him again. One of the rare times when I agree with the T.V. announcers - it's not Valentine's job to go toe-to-toe with the coach in that situation. I figure just take the path of least resistence, and get the hell out. Having said all of this, none of us knows what Barnes said after the first T - maybe he called his wife a nasty name, maybe he used the "n" word, who knows? Those are my views, but in the end, I guess I'm not gonna second-guess a top NCAA official on this one. In the end, it was Barnes who was being a jerk, and Barnes who had the option of just sucking it up and letting the game end. (I'll just ignore the TROLL in the previous post, who's probably some idiot Texas fan)

No Texas fan at all and no Barnes fan
either. I'm not even from that part of the country. However, I've had a belly full of TV Teddy for years. Ever see his business card? In the upper corner is a drawing of two hands making the "T" sign with sparks flying away from it.
Now that's his image and he created it. BTW, what was the spread? It was a three point game when he 'went to to toe' with Barnes. It finished at 8. |

Hmmmmm, I'm starting to wonder about who this guy really is.... And BTW, the spread, not that it matters, was 3 points, X had the ball with miniscule time left on the clock. Game over. |

Keep wondering
but read the University of Michigan study on officials and gambling and you might understand what I am wondering about.
I have never bet a penny on any sporting event in my life. No, you don't have a clue who I am. Nor I you. But that doesn't matter here. All that matters is the truth. Stop defending Teddy Valentine. if you guys policed your own, you wouldn't hear the criticism you hear. By the way, someone here said the official "passed on" three events of conduct by Xavier on the last three possessions. please tell me someting. Where is the written authority for an official to "pass on" calling a violation of the rules? I have asked that question for years, but no one seems able to produce the written authority. There is a very serious reason for asking that question. This one too - Who gives officials authority to ever call anything other than every single violation of the rules they see? Do officials' associations have authority to alter the rules of the game? To advise their members not to enforce violations? Someone here surely knows these answers and has a copy of the written document allowing officials to "pass on" calls. Surely it exists. Officials wouldn't intentionally allow the rules to be violated without sanction would they? Just show me. |

If that is the case, the spread had nothing to do with the game. Texas is in the Big 12, and I would expect most betters would think that a Big 12 team would beat a Atlantic 10 team any day. Peace

Re: Keep wondering
Have you ever read.....no, have you ever SEEN a rule book?
If so, you would have no reason to even ask such a stupid question. You would know the answer. Find a rule book and see if you find the words, "spirit and intent of the rules" and "advantage/disadvantage." As far as having sought the answers to these questions, I doubt it. You could have easily found them if you wanted to. You're more interested in bashing officials, just for the sake of being a dumbass. Perhaps you should look for the thread about Larry Rose and the ACC semifinal game between NC State and Maryland, where Rose correctly called a rule book T on NC State and was then blasted in the media by his BOSS!
