Another dumb commentator comment

[Mark Padgett]

Wake Forest - Florida State game on ESPN2. A Wake player takes a shot from along the endline near the corner and it hits the side of the backboard. Play by play announcer (don't know who it was) says the shot hit the "basket support". Gee - I guess the officials missed an OOB call then.

A dumb commentator comment. So what else is new? This happened in the first five minutes of the game. I wonder how many more he'll chalk up before the end of the contest?

Sounds like Mike Patrick

I have the pleasure of watching the otherACC game matching Coach Mike "the Whiner" K vs Gary "I could blow my cork at any time" Williams.

There was a "non-call" against Md in the first half where Williams was so far out onto the floor you would have thought he was either a player or they had called a TO - neither was the case and of course Coach K is really working the officials....

I am sendig them a copy of the NCAA Rule book along with the CCA Manuel for Mr. Lavin and company. Should I send them an appiciation to a camp as well?

I thought Coach K was going to lose it when, in a brief stretch, his team was called for a BC violation incorrectly and then a travel incorrectly! Not sure whether it was the same official, but boy was Mike hot! The F-bombs were flying left and right!

The BC: long rebound in Duke's FC, MD player then Duke player touches it in the FC (no team control), Duke player gets control in the BC. Tweet! As I saw it develop, I was thinking, "nope, not a BC." Guess I was wrong!

The travel: Duke in their FC running their halfcourt offense. A1 holds the ball with his back to the basket, A2 runs around to take the ball. A2 gets the ball and immediately releases it for a dribble. Tweet! I have no earthly idea what the official saw -- saw it on replay too.

Ask Coach K why the Dookies lost.

One part you left out from this play. One of Duke's big men tapped the rebound towards the backcourt. The calling official may have felt that this was a controlled tap.

Was distracted and did not see BC call, but my 14yr old did and said "dad, no team control!" Talk about a proud papa!

And the F-bombs from a nice Catholic boy from the northwest side of Chicago and Weber high school........oh my!

Yeah those stupid commentators..., a little while later I heard one of the commentators say that a time out had been called by one of the teams, when clearly it was a "TV time out." OMG what a total freakin idiot! How could he possibly make such a mundane mistake? The games would be soooooooo much more interesting to view if former referee's were providing the commentary. These former coach guys just run there mouths, blah, blah, blah, far too much to say.

I know that referee's would do well because of all the facinating referee pod casts in itunes, not to mention the shelf after shelf of interesting books written by officials at Barnes & Noble.

Well... there actually is that one written by Donahey(sp) about CHEATING!
