Anybody see this?
Can't recall the teams this weekend, probably big ten tourney.
Bang, bang out of bounds play. Hightower dramatically as leads sells call that we are now going the other way. Center comes in and has his hands on Ed's hips with his head bowed, never making eye contact as he tells Hightower what he saw. Ed is seemingly glaring at him. Ed changes his call. Center looked a 14 year kid fessing up to his father that he snuck the car out for spin. You had to see it, pretty funny. "Ed....ahh,ahh, eerrr, eerr, I, I, I'm sure it's blue ball." It of course was the right call, just was a funny scene as the camera had a tight shot of them both. |
That is exactly why I don't care for Ed's over-demonstrative mechanics. They certainly don't make his calls any more correct.
They only make it difficult for a partner to provide help after he has emphatically signaled forty-seven times in one direction. |

He was not happy he changed his call, but it clearly was the correct one. We get the Big Ten network here and they have classic games on. Currently Wake Forest Illinois from 2004 is running, Steve Welmer, Ted Hillary and Hightower who looks about 20 pounds lighter. |

It's like anything - it depends; sometimes an in-your-face ref does a good job and there was reason to be like that. Sometimes there was no reason or a bad job was done. |
