OK then, how about making him listen to a game with Bob Knight, Dick Vitale, and Billy Packer as announcers?

That would still be torture...his ears would literally pop to the point of bleeding!

By the behaviour of the rogue ref in the OP? Not so much.

By the mention of a 'bit of an accent' being parlayed into suggestions of an immigration check then on to rendition and torture... yeah, that will do it.

I know attempts at humor can be misconstrued, but I'm cringing at the tenor of this thread.

My 2 cents.

Good grief.

On behalf of officials everywhere, let me apologize for such unprofessional behavior.

In addition to the points mentioned by other members, I would NEVER, EVER, touch a coach other than the pregame handshake.

When the official went solo, he threw himself under the bus. Listening to Packer et al doing one of HIS games should be the punishment. I would think that the OP was not the only coach to get the treatment from that particular official on that particular day.

When did this turn into the baseball board?

Guess you're not talking to some of us, who might be baritones.

Or even worse...Rollie Massimino....the only thing worse than listening to Rollie broadcast a game, is having to listen to him on the bench....
