Joey C is Out of Control
Watching the Clippers/Wizards game just now and I think this is what I just saw:

After a questionable call against the Wizards for an offensive elbow Crawford Td up the Wizards coach.

Crawford was doing his thing while the L administered the technical, which Chris Paul missed and apparently so did Crawford. He walks toward Paul at the free throw line and makes circles with both index fingers saying "let's go." Everybody is looking at him like WTF then Crawford yells at the L, "give me the Gawd Damn ball" and makes them reshoot the technical, which Paul makes.

Don't know what my point is other than being a ranting loser on an officiating forum at midnight. Crawford is obviously a great official but some of his antics really do strike me as out of control. His partner who administered the technical FT seemed visibly, and rightfully, pissed.

Maybe he thought if I give a tech, they are getting the point no matter how long this takes. Seriously though he does like being a little over the top.

Just saw Joey (with hair) working Game 7 of the 94 Finals (Houston/New York). Top of the game for a very long time -- say what you want about Joey, you can't take that away from him.

Last game 7 of the NBA Finals, in 2010, he was the crew chief with Dan Crawford and Scott Foster being the referees...it's safe to say, if there's a game 7 in the NBA Finals, he WILL be the crew chief for that game.

I can't remember where I saw this but apparently over the last twenty years, the NBA Finals have gone the distance four times. Joe Crawford has refereed Game 7 each time. Case closed.

Guy's done more Finals games than any other active official, and not just because of longevity.
