I saw Huggins get tossed - picked up two T's...he was very angry about the disparity in foul counts and foul shots...Turiauf (from Gonzaga) shot more free throws by himself (22 I think) than Cinci did as a team...but Gonzaga was pounding it inside and Cinci was shooting lots of 3's...did not see the radio guy get kicked - must have happened during a commercial... wish I had seen that!

SALT LAKE CITY - Cincinnati coach Bob Huggins was kicked out in the second half of the Bearcats' NCAA tournament opener against Gonzaga after drawing two technicals on a disputed call Thursday. The Bearcats went on to lose the game, 74-69.
Upset with a traveling call on Cincinnati's Jason Maxiell early in the second half, the volatile coach jumped in the air and landed with a two-footed stomp. That quickly got a technical from lead official Mike Kitts. Huggins, who had a major heart attack in September, continued the tirade and after another minute was called for the second technical by Kitts, who pointed to the locker room tunnel after blowing the whistle. So.... Apparently during the time out after or possibly during the 4 free throws, Machock was giving the crew or Kitts hell and he was tossed. Dan Hoard who does the play by play finished the radio broadcast on his own. |

More on the Tech's
According to Western Athletic Commissioner Karl Benson, who served as the NCAA Basketball Committee representative for this tournament site, Huggins received the first technical "for leaving the coaching box."
The second tech, Benson said, was called because "Huggins was refusing to leave the floor and was four steps onto the court. And he was continuing to question the call." Huggins lingered on the court after he was ejected, prompting Peters and assistant coach Andy Kennedy to walk onto the court in an attempt to persuade him to leave. Athletic director Bob Goin then escorted Huggins toward the locker room. "That's just a reaction I have," Goin said. "If I see a little something that happens, my role as an athletic director is showing up. It sends a message. I don't have to say anything." Goin said he didn't think the incident would damage the reputation of the university or program. "I don't think there's anything drastically wrong," Goin said, "with a basketball coach getting two ... I mean, it's wrong and it's disappointing to me, but I don't think that has anything to do with the image or the integrity of the university because they may have been merited and they may not have been. That's a judgment call." |

More on Machock
SALT LAKE CITY - No one is a more impassioned defender of University of Cincinnati coach Bob Huggins than Chuck Machock.
Machock, one of Huggins' closest friends, served as a volunteer coach during Huggins' first few years at UC and was Huggins' boss when Machock was the head coach at Central Florida. They've known each other since Huggins played at West Virginia. As the color commentator for UC's radio broadcasts on WLW-AM (700) for the past 10 years, Machock frequently has criticized officials both on the air and off from his seat along press row. But Machock apparently crossed a line Thursday during UC's loss to Gonzaga in the first round of the West Regional at the Huntsman Center. After Huggins was ejected from the game by official Mike Kitts, Machock also was asked to leave for comments he made to Kitts off the air. He was escorted out of the building. "The official came to the (scorer's) table and asked that he be removed," tournament director Steve Pyne said. "He indicated there was some vulgar language directed at him." Pyne then walked across the court and informed Machock that he would have to leave. "He asked why," Pyne said. "I told him why, and he obviously denied it. We brought the official back to the table to make sure that's what he wanted to do, and he said he wanted to follow through with it." Machock did not physically resist but did protest that he hadn't used profanity and sought the support of a nearby writer to verify that, which the reporter did. But Machock still was asked to leave. Reached later at his hotel, Machock declined to give his side of the story. "I want to talk to (UC athletics director) Bob Goin about the whole thing before I say anything," Machock said. Goin was clearly unhappy with Machock's behavior. "I'm more disturbed about that, quite frankly, than I am about the coach," Goin said. "I'm going to get the facts first. There will be no rush to judgment, but there will be a judgment." Huggins said he didn't know the details of Machock's ejection. Told that the tournament director said Machock used vulgar language, Huggins said, "I can't believe Chuck used vulgar language." Play-by-play man Dan Hoard, who has worked with Machock for the past two years, said he heard no profanity from Machock. Two reporters seated nearby said they heard Machock direct the term "S.O.B." at the official, and one observer said he heard Machock tell Kitts he was a terrible official. "After Huggs got his technicals," Hoard said, "Chuck removed his headphones so that he couldn't be heard on the air and began yelling at Mike Kitts. He did not use any profanity but did say things along the lines of 'That was a terrible call.' "Mike Kitts said, 'Keep it up and you're going to be watching the game from outside, too.' Then Mike Kitts went down to the baseline and Chuck kept it up a little bit. When there was a timeout called, Mike Kitts walked over to the official scorer's table and told security to kick Chuck out of the game." Hoard acknowledged that this isn't the first time Machock has criticized officials from his seat on press row. Directing such barbs at officials is considered unprofessional among media representatives, who are supposed to be unbiased observers. It was within the official's purview to ask for Machock's removal. "If in his judgment a person is exercising unsportsmanlike behavior, the official has the authority to have him removed," said Karl Benson of the NCAA Basketball Committee. |

Even More on this Game
TECHNICAL DENIED: Huggins pleaded for a technical foul to be called against Gonzaga's Cory Violette near the end of the first half but was denied.
Gonzaga guard Winston Brooks threw what appeared to be a pass intended for Violette under the basket, but the ball went through the basket for a 3-pointer with 1:22 left in the half. Violette then picked the ball up and dunked it. "It was the judgment of the official that the Gonzaga player did not know the ball had gone in the basket," said Karl Benson, the NCAA Basketball Committee representative. |

I hope that I am not the only one who is seriously disappointed that Mike Kitts is working the NCAA tournament. I believe that he should have lost the rest of his season schedule for the Georgetown-Seton Hall six men on the court screw-up. There must be some accountability for the officials too.

Expanded referee powers VERY useful!
I didn't know referees had ejection power extending off the court! All right way to go!
I've already put this principle to work in my off-court life. Yesterday I wore my shirt and whistle to my day job. Within the first hour I ejected my boss, two co-workers, a surly delivery boy and the guy from the mortgage company who phoned about this month's missed payment. (I had already ejected my wife and teenage son from breakfast at home that morning. My younger daughter made it long enough to finish her orange juice with only one T, however.) This is gonna be swell! I'm on the way to DC to see what I can do about the mess there. |
