Correct. Before the clock faded out, I could see the "2" where the current quarter is typically located.

Plus, it's definitely the first half since both sets of the foul shots were away from that team's bench. (That is, assuming that the officials didn't permit the team to go in the wrong direction for 13˝+ minutes. LMAO :D)

From reports that I've gleaned off the net, the general consensus was that the game was well-officiated up to that point and there's no finger-pointing being made at the officials (which in itself is as unusual as hell).

Sshhhhhh...... Don't ruin a good thing. ;)

I assume that a friend request is a Facebook thing. I wouldn't know, since I don't have Facebook.

Yes it sureashell is. And I commend you highly for deleting that link, Juggler.

You are wise beyond your years.

Yes, it's a Facebook thing. Some just automatically accept friend requests, others have to grant permission for the friend request to happen.

I won't go that far. Was this a descipable act? Yes, and he should be punished to the full extent of the law. But after that, if some program wants to take a chance on him for some reason, I'm not going to be shouting for banishment from college ball.

If he's good enough, it will be conveniently forgotten. See OJ Mayo for reference.

H.S. Ref Gets Slammed | The Smoking Gun

Found this lovely little quote from the player in the accompanying article...

"In an interview last night with police, a “remorseful” Holland appeared to blame the referees for allowing opposing players to rough him up without whistling them for fouls. Holland “stated that the referees were seeing this happen but was not calling any fouls on the opposing team.”

Of course it's the fault of the officials :rolleyes:

Standard disclaimer, I'm new, wasn't there....

Does anybody see contact by the defense at the endline immediately after the throw-in? Still absolutely no excuse.

Looks like the Ref is originally from Pittsburgh.

Maybe it's just me, but does anybody else think that it might just not be the greatest idea in the world to publish the official's name on this site also. Juggler got rid of the Facebook link of the assaulter, and rightly so imo. Is this really any different?

Or is it maybe just my caring, sensitive side coming through again?
