Words can't describe.... this video.

Oh I don't know, being down by 5 and giving up four shots sounds like a great strategy to me.

constable,
He used other unauthorized signals, as well. The one thing this video reinforces is that as officials we better try to do things the right way all the time -- otherwise, we end up watching ourselves on YouTube along with 1000s of our closest friends

However, I'm suggesting that 30 seconds of video doesn't always tell the story. There is a ton of reading between the lines here. My sole point is: Don't think there are no positive outcomes to his actions, and that you understand the entire context from 30 seconds of video. But, yes, if you feel he is an idiot, an idiot he will be to you.

I'll just tag on to what most have concluded here.............I don't feel he's an idiot, he is an idiot. Nothing you can tell me about this man excuses the behavior he demonstrated on this video. Additionally, you mention that this modus operandi apparently doesn't bother him. That only solidifies his idiot stature.

It's all about him. Pitiful, and you buy into this nonsense.

Because, yeah, name-calling accomplishes SO much....

This situation happened in March of 2008 in the post season. Because he was ejected, he is forced to miss the next game, which would have been the first game of the 08-09 season. To get past this rule, the school scheduled a game with it's alumni and counted it as a game, which by state rules was/is legal. So in essence he didn't really sit out a game.

Oh well.

Soliloquy, or are you responding to a specific post?

Sad that the school bent over for this guy.

Atta boy coach, teach the kids to circumvent the rules rather than take responsibilty for your actions. Gutless.

From this slo mo shot it looks like a clean block, I have nothing but a bad acting job by shooter. As always, from a grainy video, bad angle and 50 feet away.

Based on the angle and the quality of the video, I do not see anything different from what I saw originally. The officials on the game did not call a foul, as far as I am concerned I see nothing that makes this a foul in slow motion.

Peace

The block looks clean, but I'm not sure whether he was fould prior to landing by the defender who looks like he's moving towards him. It's hard to tell with this angle, but it looked horrible at full speed.

OK upon further review, it was only one T at the end of the game but I still don't call that smart.
