Great quote.
1. by just another ref is wrong. In this case.

2. Stuff happens. First question you ask if you're going to blow the whistle ought to be "what did the defense do wrong?" In this case, NOTHING.

"Sheesh" right back at ya.

Defender stuck his foot where another player was trying to run.

The other people must not be watching in high definition. I am not even sure it was accidental. He knew a cutter was coming through. Why would he stick his foot out at that instant? He wasn't moving to guard a player.

Well I have a high definition TV and I saw no contact. The only players that made contact were the two MSU players. The Kansas player tripped over his own foot and that is why he fell. The Kansas player tried to squeeze through a spot and caught himself off balance. I am still trying to figure out how he could have contacted the MSU player.

Oh well.

Peace

#2 was looking at and guarding against the throw-in pass. When the thrower looked to #2's left (for W15), #2 was stepping in that direction.

Oh very nice.

Don't forget to bring your stopwatch next time you ref, so you can call 3 seconds.

You would think that certain people have never seen a basketball game before.

Peace

So, if I understand it, the secondary defender is allowed to stick out his foot and trip a player, so long as he has his back to him.

Make it look like an accident.

No. That isn't allowed. It could even been adjudged "Intentional" or "Flagrant".
