Some officials need to realize that the majority of people aren't there to see them work. From what I've seen from Oglesby this season, he's one of them. I'm just glad that bs technical didn't influence the game. Providence did that on their own. |

The problem is, in the regular season that is not called. About six weeks ago, I was watching a game in where Chris Collins of Northwestern and Pat Driscoll were going jaw to jaw over a non-goaltending call. No technical foul was called.
This has been brought up before, when you have one set of supervisors for the regular season, and a separate set for the NCAA tournament where there is more pressure to call this creates problems. In the regular season, you see a lot of bad stuff by coaches, and players that never gets called. |

So if a coach is loudly swearing, dropping F bombs and racial slurs, during a timeout huddle to his team, do you have no reaction? I realize I'm posing an extreme example, but my point is you had better not claim that this "isn't our job"

I find that most people who make such claims have very poor understanding of the rules and how the game really should be officiated and are instead basing much of their opinion on ignorance and/or myths. Your subsequent posts along with, another recent visitor, just go to confirm that.

Throwing chairs is just a no-no. I don't care what the reason was or who it was directed at. Such behavior simply does not belong anywhere on the court.

As someone who has no horse in this race, so to speak, the technical foul absolutely didn't need to be called. If the action had been directed at an official(or anyone other than his own team), I'd have no issue with it.

Some things are just not allowed no matter who the target is. Throwing chairs is one of them.

Other than calling the official an idiot, the Deadspin article is correct. |

As to the play in question...overt actions such, such as throwing/hitting the chair opens one up to be assessed a technical foul. And for all we know, there may be words that accompanied this T...in guise of "just talking to his guys."

Don't let facts get in the way of your argument. Usually when I knock something over, it doesn't travel 10-15 feet or more (can't see where it stopped but it was at least that) before it stops.

If there were a way to penalize the coach without rewarding the other team, I'd be all for it. I just don't think that this rises to the level of something the other team should benefit from. |

I think I'm coming at it from the baseball mentality of an equipment toss that doesn't endanger others and isn't directed at/in response to an official is a warning. |
