The word that you are looking for is "bisexual". It means a person who wants to get sex,but unfortunately has to buy it! Nothing personal intended.

Btw,I don't think Huggins is too smart.Massive heart attack,and then go nuts like that? [/B][/QUOTE]

Let's see if anybody gets that reference!

Let's see if anyone can figure out if that's the way it was really spelled!

BTW, the radio announcer definately deserved to be ejected (no matter what the comments are and whether they were on or off the air). I'm just shocked that game management didn't take care of the issue before the officials. (My school has nice little name cards we put down at everyone's chair, along with a little reminder that "cheerleading" from press row is prohibited under NCAA guidelines.)

JR, you really going for Mary Poppins there? "esspaly" isn't how I envision that word being spelled. Maybe you are making a subtle sub-reference? Or is this a case of "call the obvious"?

My understanding is Chuck Machock's father was a D-1 official for many years. So many of the officials have known Chuck for many years. And there is the usual conversations before games. With that said, Machock went over the line. This is nothing new for him. He is your typical color commentator/"Homer". The only people in Cincinnati that don't like Chuck are Xavier fans.

I think that Mr. Spelling Person above probably got the right spelling.He should!He's in about his eighth year of college,isn't he?

Let's try this one: scrumdidilyumptious!

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory...very strange movie...I heard a radio interview with the Cinci AD about the whole situation...his comments were: 1)Huggins deserved both T's - the first for the big jump/two-footed stomp, and the second because he was 4 to 5 feet out on the court and would not move back when asked several times...2)the radio guy lost his cool and needed to go also...3)the officials in Cinci's conference games do the schools and coaches a disservice by allowing that type of behavior during the season, even though it won't be tolerated during the tournament...I was liking what he had to say up until the last part - seemed like he was trying to find a "way out" for Huggins bad behavior...

I'd say that is a fair comment. Chuck is definately Coach Huggins' biggest fan. I dont know why people expect that announcers that work for specific schools or specific professional teams aren't "homers". Of course they are. They all pull for their teams and their target audience are made up of that team's fan base. Kinda obvious to me. It's not like these guys work for CBS or ESPN.

This does not excuse him yelling at officials from press row. We have enough people yelling at us to have to worry about those guys too.

In the end....Huggins needed this season to be over. This had to be the toughest season coaching and personally for him ever. Secretely, I bet he's glad it's over.

[/B][/QUOTE]I wonder if there's any truth to that statement. If there is,it's a shame- but I'm not really that surprised. I'm also wondering if,instead of blaming the officials,maybe he should be blaming the officials' supervisor- who is also usually getting direction from someone above in that conference anyway.

Btw,nice catch on Willie Wonka!

I didnt hear that interview but I did hear Goins say that he was not as concerend with Huggins' technicals because they were official's judgement calls as he was Machocks ejection. Chuck has a meeting with the Man coming up.

I would say it seemed as though there were a few games that officials could have whacked Huggins for the arm waving stomp / flight attempt this year and didnt. I doubt that those would have prevented what happened in the Zags game though. Huggs is Huggs.

I know we've had technical foul conversations in other posts but let me say this. I sense that if you do what you are supposed to do (IE See Kitts in the Zags game) you could negatively affect future opportunities. Example...there is a high school league in Cincinnati that gives the power to the coaches. You cant get in without a recommendation. You can get bumped out on one coach's no vote. Another example....In Ohio, post season officials are selected based on a vote system...by coaches.

I read on here everyone's relief that Mr. Kitt's 6-man game didnt cost him his schedule and I echo the sentiments that it was a mistake that a lot of people could have made. But, that expressed relief by all of you says something.

[/B][/QUOTE]Unfortunately,that's a fact of life in other places than Ohio,too,or so I hear. It's a shame that politics might prevail over officiating talent in some cases.If you do officiate in one of these areas,like Larks does,I guess that you'd best learn how to play the game if you want to advance,though.

Does this Cincinnati league start with a "G" and end with a "CL"?

I'm not sure how the GCL works at the V level. At the JV level I knew the assignor and he gave me a shot. We'll see if that leads me into the V down the road.

No, I was speaking of a different league and I'll leave it at that except to say that it also starts with a "G"

I know that assignor and he's been good to me as well. Great guy. Many believe that doing the F and JV games for that league is as tough a doubleheader as there is. And I'd have to agree.

As for the other league, if a coach just doesn't like you, you're screwed. And some grudges can last a long time. The league is just hurting themselves.
