Couple first timers in Petty and Stephens. Nice to see some new blood.

As for all the Burr-bashing. In the infamous Rutgers game - it was neither Burr nor Tim Higgins that were the primary official in what I think are the biggest f-ups in the dying minutes of that game: (1) the obvious rebounding foul that was passed on (C on the play was up above the 3pt line when the foul occurred off a missed FT), but positioned way too high IMO), and another foul on the hail mary pass at the end where the Rutgers guy is basically knocked down. Earl Walton was the closest official on both those plays - but Higgins and Burr got all the vitriol. Not defending any of them - but Walton kind of got off scott-free in the court of public opinion IMO.

I know at least on the half court pass, the initial lead official (not sure if it was Higgins or Burr), took himself out of position to help on this play by being in the middle of the paint for some reason. The hail mary could be disputed by some...the missed out of bounds call was concrete and can not be argued by anyone hence the reason those two seemed to have gotten it worse in the "court of public opinion."

Agree to a certain extent - but the lead would have been straightlined. Walton was level with the play on the sideline and had a wide-open view.

The two no-calls were the RARE cases where the announcers dumped all over the officials - and I agreed with them. The OOB was just the icing on the cake, IMO. 1.6 sec left would have set up an iffy scoring chance at best for Rutgers (the TI would have been in the backcourt) - but those two non-calls on fouls were huge.

I thought the first no call on the dribble drive with 12 seconds left was a blatant foul and surprised it wasn't called. The halfcourt toss...the center was in great position to see the play...I will admit I thought it was a foul. Still, some could defend some of the judgment calls (which is what happened when we first discussed this ending). No one can defend missing a blatant out of bounds call. And that missing that call gave the appearance that the two officials who could have called the violation did not officiate until the end and assumed the game was over.

Actually, it's 3 out of the last 4. Not only did he work last year's game, but also the 2008 final in San Antonio.

Also, in 2009 he worked one of the semis.

2007 was the last time that he did not work one of the games at the Final Four.

Hello

** Спустя час, изрядно насытившись двойной порцией и договорившись с генералом Ростовым об охране своего турбоглиссера до прибытия подразделения техников, Красс был готов к отлету на Землю. Генерал имел в своем распоряжении добрую сотню ремонтников высшего класса и огромное количество дройдов того же назначения, но не стал задавать вопросов, зачем нужно дожидаться какую-то специальную команду, а просто выставил охранение вокруг блока, в котором находился разбитый вдребезги турбоглиссер "Змея". Вместо него Ростов снабдил капитана "Невидимых" штурмовым шаттлом типа "Керн" с двумя пилотами на борту. Кроме того, до Сатурна его должны были сопровождать два штурмовика типа "Ястреб".

** Макс протиснулся в пробоину, предварительно убедившись по сканеру, что его там никто не ждет. За воротами начинался огромный тоннель, в который при желании свободно мог влететь истребитель. Луч портативного прожектора Макса скользнул по настенным кабелям и утонул во мраке.

You're making a lot of assumptions here.

For a mistake in December?

And my 6 year old has better writing skills than this.

Yeah, I said it.
