The "Worst Thing" an Official Can Do?

[grunewar]

Oklahoma vs Texas

Texas player has the ball on the endline. Backing he defender down, turns slightly towards the lane, bends at the waist and raises his shoulder and pretty overtly knocks the defender down at his midsection. Defender went down pretty good - overly dramatic reaction by the defender? Maybe so.

Ed Hightower is the L. He gives a couple of hand gestures I couldn't quite make out (shocker)....and then motions to the player on the ground - as to say "son, I've got nothing, you need to get up."

Bob Knight, our favorite color man says, "If I'm a coach, that's the worst thing any official could do. Pass on the call and then tell the kid to get up."

The worst? C'mon Bob.

Anyone else see it? Comments?
