As far as I know Ted has voiced a problem with one of the officials that was in that game with him. He speaks of the "incident" but he doesn't really come out and talk bad about coach Knight. At least not the times I have talked to him or heard him talk.

I think his body language and movements make him stand out but it is not as bad as some. It is a proven fact that there is an official out west that had a very low percentage of good calls in the final four of 2004. Yet, he is held in high regard. Meanwhile, he looks like a total BAFOON while doing it! How does this differ from Teddy? Teddy is strong with his movements and getting solid angles. His mechanics are one of a kind but he has had a good look. It's not like he is jumping around, going too low at the C/stopping in the middle of the paint and getting horrible angles all the time. Someone should try to jump around for a few minutes and see what kind looks you get.

Sorry for the rant, I've been in a class all week and had some stuff bottled up.

SI meets David Yancey

Right below the Ted Valentine paragraph, is an article about a 14 year old official I know very well.

It is about half way down the page.
