Headed to UCSB for camp

[TRef21]

I came late on Friday on missed all the passports since I was floor mentoring and talking with my evaluators. Some stuff about Bob. I think he is a real good guy. Has a lot of class and expects the most out of his players. What did he say about the topic. Did we work together??

No we didn't work together.

I agree that overall he seems like a good guy.

The example he used was a team making it to the Big West championship and losing because of a call late in the game thus not making it to the NCAA tourney because the conference usually only gets one team in. The losing team hadn't been to the NCAA tourney in a long time. He said that call late in the game could cost the coach his job.

With that said though, I was impressed with his statement to the players and coaches at the camp before the games started. He told them to treat the officials with respect. From the sounds of it he was pleased that the officials were T'g and ejecting if needed. One coach was ejected twice. Don't think his team will be invited back.

I didn't see that game but heard what happened. All I could say that those officials in Big West working that game gave 100%. I work for the Supervisor in his DIII and JC conference. Like we hear all the time, we are human and will make a mistake. But I can see where he is coming from. If you look at, at levels of college basketball a coach can lose their job because of a call.

It isn't a call that cost him his job. If he gets fired after a close game with a questionable call late in the game, he was well on his way to getting fired anyway.

It's just another excuse from a second rate coach either looking to blame the officials for his own screw-ups or trying to gain an advantage somewhere down the road. I've heard that bullsh!t before too many times. What these kind of clowns forget is that there's two teams out there and two head coaches....not just his. Any official that thinks about whether one one of his calls could cost somebody their job or not sureasheck is in the wrong avocation. You can't referee scared.

Ol' Bob ain't the great guy that these guys think he is.
