Why was my Stanford/UCLA post taken down?

WTF is up with that? Unless I'm just missing it. There was no reason to take it down. The refs blew some calls late in the game and it hurt Stanford but that wasn't my only point.

If a post is spam or if there is some good reason then sure take it down but mine wasn't. Honestly, I don't know why people get so upset here when there is criticism of officials. They made bad calls because I believe they got caught up in the excitement of the last couple minutes and UCLA had momentum. The other parts of the game were fine.

I think I know why it got deleted. I'll try & not call you an azzhole again.

Carry on.

Your post wasn't targeted. The entire thread was deleted because the moderator felt it had degenerated into something counterproductive to the purposes of this board.

I haven't seen the game, nor have I seen replays of any particular calls that you may think were wrong. I will say, however, that the part I highlighted in red above is even more wrong-headed than your insinuation that the last couple minutes of regulation were horribly officiated.

You're either attacking their competence or their integrity. Which is it?

I think it was Nevadaref's fault for mentioning a program on ESPN radio - that made the moderators mad since it was an obvious and unnecessary plug for a different corporation!

Couldn't it just be he's drumming up interest for his camp?

It's possible. He's gonna need to do some serious marketing at those prices.

Oh? What was your point then? That you don't have a freaking clue when it comes to officiating basketball? That a so-called official with your limited knowledge and experience should keep away from trying to do something that you're not even remotely qualified to do....critique D1 officials? That you have the basic integrity level of the average clueless fanboy that shows up here to whine about the mean old officials?

Feel free to make your point again.

Be prepared when you do so.

Because the guys in black and white strips are our team.

Just a guess...but I'll bet this thread disappears as well. It's just taking up valuable server space.

How about if he throws in a 14" carrot?

my point was that in games when one team starts getting on a roll sometimes the officials start favoring the stronger team. It usually won't last and once the other team gets a few baskets it goes back. It doesn't happen a lot. I've seen it before in Duke and UNC games many times and high school games especially. Miami/UNC game last year when the Miami coach get ejected is an example. But the calls at the end of the Standford game were not consistent with how the game was officiated for the first 80% of the game. The game was called well just not at the end. I'm not a Stanford fan.

You can't get a 14" carrot from a 1" carrot person.

Simple mathematics.
