Yes, Knight knows all things basketball, but seriously, I have watched thousands of games over the last 20 years and this was one of the worst officiated games I have ever seen.

The grabbing the jersey foul that was not intentional even though a blind man could tell it was intentional was bad enough, but if you watch the replay you see one official start to raise the intentional foul signal, but suddenly decided (for whatever reason) to change his mind.

However, even that wasn't as bad as the other not-called intentional foul earlier in the game where a defensive player was badly beat on a long pass and took both hands and shoved the airborne offensive player in the back with no attempt on the ball directly in front of the official. If ever there was a "textbook" intentional foul, that was it.

This crew made NBA officials look good.

While I do agree with your two assessments above, if that was one of the worse officiated games you've ever seen, then all I have to say is wow!

Heh.

Personally, I thought the LSU-Tennessee game was horribly officiated yesterday. Of course, it was also very poorly played.

It's amazing how often these go together, isn't it?

Bob Knight received the least number of technicals in the Big Ten every year in his tenure at IU. But when he got em, they were GREAT theater!! My favorite being the rather circtuitous route leaving the floor after being ejected, can't remember the officials name he circled. (The chair throwing is over rated if you ever watch hockey coaches)
As for last nite, I did disagree with the comments about NOT calling the T. I couldn't help but laugh as Brent Mussy stammered and stammered after they showed the replay and everyone could read his lips. IMO, THAT is why there were T's issued. Eventually, Brent composed himself and said something to the effect that he thought the Baylor player used some inappropriate language and that MAY have been the reason he got the T.
I know I know, I WASN'T there, but it doesn't take an expert to read lips and know what was SAID. LOL

Well, I know Bobby got 110% on the written, but how did he fare on the floor test?

If it involved:

1) Pacing and stomping,
2) Yelling and cussing,
3) Arguing with refs,
4) Grabbing players,
5) Tossing chairs, or
6) Embarassing himself in any number of ways.
7) All of the above plus, much, much more

I imagine pretty good!

I think he had 2 posts & neither one improved anybody's intellect. Equally so, in snaqs' opinion.
