4 minutes to go, close game. NCAA game - Chattanoga vs. Elon.

Elon comes down gets absolutly whacked, no call. Chattanoga goes the other way, call a foul. The place goes nuts. I'm sitting front row on the Elon front court. The C on our side, and calls a travel, which was another questonable one. The place is going even more nuts now. Next time back down to our side, the fans are really giving it to him. I'm quiet in the front row. He turns around, WHILE THE PLAY IS GOING ON, and starts yelling at the crowd. I start in, "NOW I KNOW WHERE YOUR MIND IS, FOCUS ON THE COURT". Next whistle he goes to the table and someone comes over and takes me out of the building.

A Division 1 Ref. Who was pulled through the game by his partners (lots of extra switching due to his incompetence, they are having to call stuff in his areas all game, etc.) During time outs they were constantly talking to him about something. And the ref was older.

This is why people despise officials at times. Sorry, but had to vent. A Division 1 game and this guy can't keep his eyes on the court. I'm sure some of the HS guys on the board would love the opportunity this guy has, and would do a far better job. I'm sure there is someone like this in every district.

I'm a ref, so normally I sypathize, but a 3 man NCAA game and he's not even watching the play. I couldn't keep my mouth shut when I saw that.
