Providence - Dayton...Ed Cooley technical

[twocentsworth]

For the textbook definition of: "Lack of Officiating Common Sense" look no further than Terry Oglesby's technical foul he assessed the Providence coach.

Sure hope any official who does that ISN'T working during the 2nd week of the tournament....

I was really hoping that the crew would get together and "discuss" this. From TV there doesn't seem like anything precipitated this.....

Sportsmanship is supposed to die because these games are important.

Good for the official. He threw a chair on the floor. He deserved it.

Have at it, fanboys.

No, just no. If Oglesby wouldn't have been butting into the huddle its a non issue.

I know that in my association, if I whacked a coach for knocking a chair over because he was mad at HIS PLAYERS I would not be working the rest of the season. Absolutely brutal lack of common sense there

Absolutely brutal lack of common sense by Cooley for throwing a chair towards where the official stands during a full timeout? Totally agree.

Intent doesn't matter.

Yep, that about sums it up

John Adams decides who works. Can't imagine he'd be bothered by this technical foul.

Those officials who ignore this.....thank goodness I work with people who wouldn't.

Just watched the video. Technical is a joke.

I'm sorry for your situation, but I like working an area where we're allowed to address this crap the right way. Oddly, we never see shit like this. Weird, I know.

Please share with us the association you work for. Seriously, I want to know what associations not to work for in the event I ever relocate.

Coaches don't try this crap in my area. Funny how that works.

The "association" probably works only adult wreck league. No legitimate high school or college association would put up this this.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but whether the officials work one or two games in the first weekend was known beforehand. So whether Ogelsby works or doesn't work on Sunday means nothing with respect to his technical foul last night.

Where do you work in KS? I know that the commissioners that I work for would have no problem defending this call. Maybe it wouldn't be their favorite, but I would loose exactly zero games over it. Change the situation a bit. Would you let a coach dump a chair on the bench because he was mad at his players, or slam the clipboard down? Maybe not the best call of the tournament, but it is defensible by rule, and it's far from the worst call.

That's a technical foul. Especially after he has been ripping the officials already. Unsporting act.
