Mic'd up official
 

Watching the Kansas @ K-State game just now and I heard Musberger and Knight talking about an official being mic'd up some time in the future. Did anyone hear this/know what they're talking about? I would love to catch that and hear what is said in a big time D1 game.

They used to mic up officials during NBA games. There's even a clip of Bennett Salvatore talking with Allen Iverson and Larry Brown and even handing him a T. They stopped doing that a while ago. I doubt you'd hear anything good. Couldn't air it haha

Not long ago, someone posted a video of a guy who was mic'd up. I think it was Rasheed Wallace he T'd up. He even said "Whack" when he T'd him!!

Ron Garretson ejecting Rasheed Wallace.

ask and ye shall receive:

YouTube - Allen Iverson & Larry Brown argue with the NBA referee

Whack! Get Out!...YouTube - Whack! Get out! Rasheed ejected by Ron Garretson.

here's what you would hear in the NBA...

YouTube - NBA referees wired

The official buying the beers was the best one ever

I don't see the NCAA ever approving this.

So it sounds like no one else was watching during that part of the game. Shoot. Thanks for the clips though, why the hell does what's his face carry around cash in his pocket while on the floor? That's bad.

I bet he uses it to keep track of the possession arrow...you know how the table crew can be sometimes.;)

It would have been very bad if that game was from a few years ago, and Tim Donaghy was on the crew. :eek:

I heard it too
 

I was watching when they made that comment. It is part of Rivalry Week for the ESPN family of networks. For one of the games this week, one of the officials will be mic'd. I can't tell you which game or who the official will be but I did hear it too.

The official's name is Joe Crawford.

Greatness!!!! "I suggest YOU sit down! LOL!!! :D

Great explanation!!! "Staring and trying to intimidate..". That's enough for me....send him! LOL!

I think that they said it was Michigan State against Wisconsin maybe. I was a bit distracted by the lousy play of Kansas to know for sure.:(

Sweet, thanks man.

Just said Jim Burr is wearing during the Ohio St. Michigan St game right now

I have no idea what this means.

Jim Burr had a microphone on during the Michigan State/Ohio State game last night. I only saw part of the second half, but they showed him talking to Izzo once, and showed an MSU player, who he had just whacked for spiking the ball, come up to him and apologize.

They also showed his pre-game, where he mentioned sportsmanship, hand checking, asking the captains to help them and the fact they can ask any of the crew a question.

Uh oh, does that make Jim Burr "That Guy"? LOL

I know of one D1 supervisor who does not want the officials asking the captains to "help them out".

...or "we are going to work hard for you tonight"

LOL, I was wondering the same thing. Personally, my sportsmanship talk amounts to this: "You know who your hot heads are, take care of them so we don't have to."

Not sure if that goes against the D1 supervisor BNR references or not.

Our Association's trainer e-mailed this out to us:

I believe this is the link that has NCAA Championship official Dick Cartmel on it, can't verify because youtube is blocked here at work:

YouTube - REFEREE PKG.mov

omg! "wack! Get out!" i love it!!!!

Excellent video...thanks for sharing.

You Bet! Since the site is blocked here...Hopefully, this is the link that has Dick C. mic'd up and/or he is pre-gaming with his fellow officials with the video monitor.

Yup, that's the video.

Great video, had some good insights/thoughts from it.

so you'd like for me to use all of the words that go in a sentence instead of just half of them -- my bad; too big of a hurry!:D

We're apparently a little bit too picky around here for an internet forum.

No worries. I figured it out eventually, after paying more attention to the context. :)

Hey Snaqs: shut up.

At least you used a complete sentence. :D

When have you known me not

Every other flower petal?

(I know him...I know him not...)

Such a roller coaster of emotions....
