Providence - Dayton...Ed Cooley technical

[Rich]

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.

Deadspin with the level headed reporting they are known for: http://screengrabber.deadspin.com/id...ool-1692780853

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.

There are really only two basic skills that officials must possess to be effective: rules knowledge and judgement. The lack of judgement displayed was astonishing in this situation. Any official that does that cannot be allowed to work a game of any importance at any level.

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.

That is correct. The opening weekend is prescheduled. The evals, plus some other factors such as prior tourney experience, result in assignments or not for the 2nd weekend (Sweet 16 & Elite 8).

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.
