What suspensions do you think will come down for the referees?

From what I saw on ESPN, it looked like the crew should have T'd the bench player and Marcus Lyons (?) for the exchange at the half. It looked very chippy and it is a good rivalry game. To me those are two reasons to have an increased awareness and be ready to respond.

I really think this crew is going to face suspensions

I think there really needs to be an examination of the whole blocking process. Coaches should have to go through their university presidents to explain why an offical should be banned from doing their games. And university presidents need to be very sure that the behavior leading to any technical fouls is clearly explained. I think the fear of being blackballed by leagues is playing a role in the lack of enforcing sportsmanship issues. That kid who played Robin Hood with #5s shorts should at a MINIMUM been given an IF.

That said, I am sure that crew will be getting the hair dryer treatment.

I hope there is an unknown trigger that boots them if there are any more unsporting Ts or flagrants. By unknown, I mean that they are known internally, but others such as officials, will have no such knowledge.

I also hope that the Xavier coach steps up to the plate with similar sanctions.

Honestly other than maybe a couple of players, I do not see the same action given by the Xavier program. Unfortunately for Cincinnati, this all took place near or in front of their bench.

Now I think the NCAA or conference is going to come down harder on everyone than the schools will do.

Peace

Pretty pathetic for what occurred. Should have been more players (at least from UC) and longer suspension. Can't believe coach is backtracking so far from his postgame statements.
