I only say that because Cole "Didn't do anything" rants should be going on as it was when Tyler H was T'd up. I am sure Cole said something that was rather inappropriate even if he was responding to what the opponent was doing to him.

Are you honestly comparing Cole squaring off like that to Hansbrough standing up after being knocked down?? If so, good grief.

What I am comparing is that he did not do anything. And this is in the fanboy thread, not the officiating thread, which means that if you listened to any media the claim was that emotion should be apart of the game. But for the record Cole was pushed, not knocked down, but certainly pushed. And he did "nothing" on the level that Tyler H did and Cole was ejected and and Tyler H was given just a T.

Now you tell me why a guy that made no contact what so ever is ejected and a guy that makes a chest bump should be given a complete pass?

Again I was not the one making the claim Tyler H's behavior was acceptable. So I would like an explanation why these situation are so different? Something tells me I am not going not going to get a good answer.

They were both ejected for what appeared to be not much, except like it was said before, a, "its a f@#$@$ blowout so stop acting like petulant kids and go sit".

Apples to oranges. I always hate garbage time in my games, because more often than not you have to be more alert.

Hansbrough stood up and was then chest bumped by Anderson. He moved less than a half foot from where he stood up. Cole turned around and assumed a fighting pose and was ready to go.

Again, if you think those two things are equal, good grief.

I think the officials in each situation handled it perfectly.

I think the LeBron-Muhammad situation was handled perfectly.

I think the Tyler H-Anderson situation was handled perfectly.

And I think the situation last night was handled perfectly.

Each situation officials were right there and I do not expect all officials either to consider everything in the same way. I was just pointing out that we were told that Tyler did nothing but in my opinion helped escalate the situation and stayed in the game and a guy only got ready in a stance and got ejected. I think that is hypocracy when you call for Tyler to not get anything if what happened last night was so over the top. I guess I do not look at officials and expect different officials with different levels of experience with different situations in each confrontation to do the exact same things across the board like robots. That does not happen at any level even at the NBA level. That is really the point.

This has been pointed out several times (in this thread and in the other) that the NBA rescinded H's Technical...now if they rescind Cole's ejection, then I will conceded that I am wrong on this. If they don't rescind his ejection - thus telling everyone that the two actions were NOT the same - will you be able to concede that you were wrong?

The only thing different, and the only real justification for the call here, is the game situations. Not sure I agree with the call, but I understand it.

Actually, I think Cole did do something that Hansbrough didn't do and that was exchange obscenities with the opponent. If you're a couple of garbage timers and you're gonna be stupid enough to do that with Kenny Maurer standing 5 feet away, you're gonna get tossed. Maurer don't play. Just search him on YouTube.

BTW, Hansbrough did not receive a technical foul as it was rescinded by the league.

You are correct. You did not say they were the same thing. My bad.

You actually said that what Hansbrough did was worse than what Coles did...

I think I have a right to my opinion as Cole only exchanged words with the opponent and Hansbrough exchanged words (look at the tape) and came forward to Anderson. Yes, not that far towards Anderson, but he did not back up like Cole did. And I can understand Cole backing up because the guy he was going up against was much bigger then him. Hansbrough is about the same size as Anderson and walking away would not have been a good look. Just ask LBJ as he is being ripped apart for not coming at Muhammad.

He couldn't. He was too busy flopping on his a$$.

As I said before. Different officials, different experiences and different games and situations. I have no problem with how the 3 situations were handled and think it is unrealistic that all situations will be done the exact same when the game situations were not the same.
