Not Wanting to Be Mean, Just Want to Know
 
This is the only way I can describe him. Who is the official who is older, runs a little girly and on his toes, and is in the Big East, I believe? Also I think he has white hair, but maybe not. This should really narrow it down. :rolleyes:

If you hadn't said "older" then I was going to say Brian O'Connell.

Sorry, I may have a few gray hairs, but it's still predominantly brown.

That's just mean.

You're more concerned about the "gray hair" part of that than the "girlie-run" part???:D

Neither applies, obviously, but the white hair isn't subjective so I thought I'd stick with that.

Dee Kantner.

No Lisa Mattingly.

Peace

I'm guessing John Cahill won't care if you're mean about his mechanics. I may be wrong, but I think he's called the last game of the tournament twice and the last Saturday once in the last three years. Maybe the "girly" mechanic has something going for it? ;0)

Cahill is probably the top NCAAM official in the past decade. I'm sure he doesn't care what anyone thinks. Great story about his son, too. Looking at his stats, he played some serious minutes the last third of the year.

JRutledge Thu Mar 24, 2011 02:01pm

Do we even know that this guy is talking about Cahill at all?

Peace

Couldn't agree with you more. While everybody "knows" of Burr, Higgins and Hightower, I would love to see Cahill on any big game. He is always calm and fluid in his actions....

By the way he is an attorney in his 9 to 5

Based on his "older" adjective we're pretty confident. The other choice is Brian O'Connell who appears younger that Cahill.

That is my all time favorite viral video!! I fire that thing up all the times, especially at meetings. Always good for a laugh!! I am trying to figure out how I can give a T as flamboyantly as he gives a Yellow Card!

Gave. Been dead for 15+ years.

Actually, I'm not convinced that the video is real footage of play. Lots of talk about a character based on the late Brazilian referee.

Party Pooper!!:p
When I first saw it I thought it was a "fan" doing pranks during games. I thought it is a lot more creative then the American drunks who run onto the field! (Although the facial expression of the kid that got tazzed was classic)

CDurham Thu Mar 24, 2011 08:06pm

It's Cahill
 
I saw Cahill recently in a game and thought he did a great job, but didn't catch who he was. Only thing I could remember was what I described. Thanks

Pretty sure Violet Palmer still has black hair.

JRutledge Fri Mar 25, 2011 09:29pm

Now I see this must be Cahill. He does run a little funny, but I would not say it has harshly as others have here.

Peace

And you can seenO'Connell in the Kentucky/OSU game. Similar hair and run.
