Doug Shows
 

Must be honest, I have a man crush on Doug. When I grow up, I want to be like Doug to paraphrase the old Jordan ad.

Seriously, he certainly passes the critical 'eye' test and just looks so smooth out there. Grabbed a few things last night I'd like to work on in camps this summer.

Dark horse for the final?

Watching last night, I was thinking the exact same thing. Great official.

I really love Dog Shows too, especially the one put on by the Westminster Kennel Club.

Oh wait - you said Doug Shows. Never mind. :p

This post made me do a quick lookup of the guy and i came here

Doug Shows - College Basketball Referee

this website needs to state that all their stats ARE NOT for that one official but rather for the games that that official has worked. NO WAY he calls 36 fouls per game :eek:

Six ejections in 13 seasons! Heck - I do that many in 13 minutes. The guy must be sleeping on the court. ;)

I went to a camp 10-12 years ago, and Doug Shows was a clinician. He was impressive then. I thought at the time that he was a "natural". He never worked high school ball which to me is more impressive than an NBAer who never went to college. He is one of the best.

Where is he from?

sniff, sniff

and that's why you're you (our Mr Stud Muffin - doing eight games on a Saturday, and Ting and tossing great, hard-working, All-American, rule-savvy, knowledgeable, parent/coaches for questioning a call or looking at you wrong) and he's doing NCAA Tourney games! :p

He did 87 games this yr and looks like he will be moving into Welmer territory shortly..... Good official. Hope he continues to pace himself.

I love watching Ted Valentine work, too. Demonstrative, always moves with a purpose. The incident with Knight 13 years ago didn't exactly hold him back, did it? I always wonder how Valentine and Tom O'Neill get along since O'Neill essentially backed the bus over Valentine that night.

In reference to ending a sentence in a preposition( germane to Chicago) or my unabashed admiration for the aforementioned Mr Show?

Does this help? :D

Must have roots in SoCal.

From what I hear it was Hightower that would be the alleged perpetrator.

Ha! Slow on the uptake. Crystal clear now.

Just sent away for my Doug Shows junior referee starter kit.

Neither one of them stepped up that night. I watched that game on TV and Valentine was left out to dry. Knight came on the court after Valentine and neither "partner" did a thing, even though Knight had already been ejected.

Can't believe it was that long ago either. I've lived in 3 states since (I was in New Orleans at the time, worked some great hoops that one year there) and have been here now for 8 years.

That was way before my officiating days. I vaguely remember the incident because of the fuss the General made about it afterwards.

I have a very good friend who knows Teddy V pretty well. My friend (one of those guys who likes to repeat stories) always bashes Hightower when retelling the incident, never says much about O'Neill.

Was it Shows who as C called the block against the WVA kid at the foul line when Bledsoe from Kentucky dropped his shoulder and ran over the defender?

The crew for the UK - WVU game was Luckie, Valentine, Shaw.

I think I recall the play you were thinking of.

I believe that Luckie made that block call.

Yep, definitely wasn't Shows. Thanks.

Just attended a camp where Shows was an observer. I had never paid attention to him before on TV but he was a great observer and a very nice guy.

I'm gonna have to check out his games this season.
