Very good. Toward the end of the video the K-state guy with hair that looks like a weapon? If he pokes someone in the eye with one of those spikes he should be gone too!

With the ding-dong decision by the ejected Kansas state player to hit that kid and the ding-dong hairdo of the other Kansas state player it makes you wonder who their coach is now. Oh. Wait. It's Bob Huggins. The whole picture makes sense now

you know, it's interesting to see it from the different angles. At the beginning, it looks like some rough out of control play, but the replay from the angle of the calling ref, it really does look like a punch. Since the player didn't complain about the call, I expect it was more intentional than not, but I just noticed that it did look very different from one angle than another.

And being a Cincinnati guy, I am laughing (a little) inside. A 24 point and 30 point loss, plus a player ejected, all before December...I guess the shine has worn off the "Little Apple" (manhattan, KS).

In regards to basketball, the shine was off the Little Apple after the departures of Mitch Richmond and Lon Kruger.

As a K-State alum, I can guarantee you, though, that K-State basketball fans have no doubt in Huggins' abilities as a coach. It's not gonna be a quick turn around, however, when the team is full of guys who are soft...and I mean SOFT.

And one who is stupid!

He will get them to play hard, I have no doubt. Expect great defense, but IMO, he's not a great game coach. And don't expect a great halfcourt offense. If he has a weekly "Bob Huggins" call-in radio show, don't expect any caller to get much respect. He is condescending to fans who call in to ask questions.

Do I sound like a Bob Huggins hater? I'm not; just a UC fan who got tired of the crap that came along with trying to win.

Let me get this straight, a shove by the biggest man on the court, that justs about separates your body parts is okay but a miss swing which looks like he could have been falling in that direction and you're tiptoeing to the tulips singing the you're out of here song. That's Interesting, hmmmmm......

AHHHHHHH LOL -- I know you cannot be serious because if you are you must really enjoy all the Junior High level games you have been doing because thats about where you should stay with your comments...

You have an inability to read -- I said depending on the serverity of the shove you punish accordingly -- if any body parts are being separated thats quite a shove IMO.

secondly you must be blind because you know youtube has a pause feature and you can look frame by frame -- if you think the defender might be falling down and didnt make any contact then well you should get your prescription checked -- me thinks its time to upgrade to actual magnifying glasses.

But you cannot be serious because if you are I would like to annoint you the Dan Quayle award for December 2006 -- I know its early but I am confident in my nomination.

D@mmit, he's keeping a tight grip on his trophy. We'll probably have to wait until April to give it to someone else.

Wow! Did I hit a nerve?

Viewing it real time is a different story. In fact, the first 2 times I saw it, i did not see it from the angle shown. It was the second angle where the view was close to what the ref actually saw that drove it home for me and yes it was great call. I just think he over emphasize the moment. He got excited, we not suppose to get excited, remember. This ain't baseball either, there's no you're out of here mechanic. I think he should be fine for that so that others don't start doing things that are non-standard.

But you cannot be serious because if you are I would like to annoint you the Dan Quayle award for December 2006 -- I know its early but I am confident in my nomination.

Just like you where confident that Ben Wallace foul was not that bad.

Yeah, my first thought too was that haircut had to be some kind of "T". And if it wasn't, it sureashell should be.

Maybe you could send him out of the game for being dangerous--poke somebody's eye out or sumthin'?

My first year officiating Varsity games, during warmups a kid took off his warmup pants to reveal some "cat in the hat" striped socks pulled up clear over his knees. When I inquired of my partner if they were legal or there was a T for this, his response was, "Only if you're planning to whack him for having bad taste."

I think the hairdo falls into that category.
