The officials "absolutely [expletive] cheated us"

Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.

The game description in The (Toledo) Blade does not talk a shot clock violation the that Buffalo paper mentions, but the local cable sports news channel will no doubt show the game on a delayed broadcast in the next couple of days and I will watch the game and report back to the group.

P.S. Bowling Green, Ohio and BGSU is just 25 miles south of Toledo on I-75 and yes we have been under a winter storm warning and blizzard warning for over 24 hours.

One other bit of information, Dakich is a Bobby Knight hot-head, so I am not suprised at his outburst. He always thinks the officials are out to get him.

Let it go. It was a joke and said very much tongue and cheek.

BTW, it is "east coast" to those that live here. It might not be considered that in reality, but people not from there would call it the "east coast" unless you have roots there. Just like everyone thinks anyone from Illinois (that does not live in the Midwest) lives close to Chicago or asks that question when you tell them what state you are from. Buffalo is in New York State right? New York State is on the Atlantic Ocean right? 😉

Why is a coach and team leaving before the officials do? To me that's just stupid!! Their jurisdiction has not ended yet. I agree that the coach was trying to sneak away with a win he knew he didn't have in the bag.

Well, I care about what happens in a game on the east coast, although I'm not sure Buffalo qualifies. Unless we're talking about the east coast of Lake Erie.

In Cleveland they call it the North Coast of America! Back me up on this Ignats75

The east end of New York maybe on the Atlantic coast, but Buffalo is on Lake Erie, a far cry from the Atlantic Ocean. I hope you aren't a geography teacher.

I live in Toledo on Lake Erie and grew up in Youngstown, Ohio, and Lake Erie is the North Coast of America.

Did you hear about the guy that moved from Ohio to Illinois?

He raised the IQ of two states.

Yup, here too! In fact, even where you are might be considered by some to be the East Coast, Jeff.

Very true. Referees usually get off the floor as fast as possible. If I was coaching, and noticed the officials were still around, I think I would know something was up.

I will put it to you this way. How many Ohio State Grads cannot read?

Comical, you are never going to find out what the true story was unless you hear it from either one of the officials, or from something that is issued by their league or officials supervisor. All you will get is conjecture, and depending on the side, the officials were either great or terrible.

Iow, same old, same old.

The MAC has supported the officials for their handling of the end of the game; Dakich was reprimanded for his comments. Below is a link to the ESPN.com story.
