There were calls before that too. If it were just this play I wouldn't be complaining. I defended the ref in that Georgetown-Nova game when GT went to the line at the end of the game. My theory is the refs got caught up with the team on a roll. Are those great refs? Sure. Could I be wrong? Yes again. But it happens and it may have happened in the game.

Breeze.............now you're quoting a 20 year old player and siding with his view? He heard it was a makeup call? Innuendo, heresay, rumor, he said she said. C'mon!

I made the stoopid mistake when I first started posting here regarding O.J. Mayo's tripping an official that it looked like the official flopped( which of course he didn't). I was rightly taken to task and put in my place and told to get lost. I deserved every bit of it. This is not the place to rip officials judgement and question their integrity. With all due respect, do what I did...........STFU.

Go tell a friend your story, not the reffing community.


By the way, I went to the youtube video and I thought it was the right call, a courageous call.

Actually, I think that anyone really cares if anyone else questions an official's judgment on an individual call. Or even if they say that the officials didn't have a very good game. Or that they stunk the joint out. We all make those mistakes and we've all been there. However, when you start questioning an official's integrity and intimate that officials are homers or that they will deliberately favor one team over another, etc., then you've crossed the line and landed in Fanboyland.

I'm kinda amazed that it hasn't sunk into this particular fanboy's thick head yet that there is unanimous disdain for his position. That's kinda amazing in itself because we(officials on this forum) never usually come close to agreeing unanimously on anything.
