I didn't watch the OSU/G-town game, but one has to ask Mr. Forde which fouls he thinks should not have been called. Good grief.

Aren't all fouls judgment calls? One person could easily think that none of the fouls should have been called, and another could think they let them slide on a couple.

The press wanted to see Hibbert against Oden, as if one game would enable them to judge each's potential. This is the nature of today's sports press, to seek the quick story in order to make the early editions. The refs probably ruined Forde's lead with their calls, so off come the gloves.

No biggie sj, fortunately I've learned to acquire the "thick-skinned" quality that we officials should possess. Let's do what the latter part of this threads topic suggest.
