I'm happy I got to start a tourney thread before BNR beat me to it....

I was at the Butler-Providence game this year and Cooley should have been whacked. I'm happy to see him finally get one. Dude rails the officials like no other.

Uh, no. Not even close. I've seen many Providence games and Cooley is on his team more than anything. I've seen many, many more coaches that are far worse

He is a huge supporter of referees. He has said at his camp that he thinks referees are underpaid...

Uh, why? The referees are in charge of everything on the court. Why would the referee conveniently ignore the chair thrown on the floor?

Admittedly my sample size is pretty small (the Butler game, and this one) but both times I've seen him pumping the refs for calls and being disrespect. Looks like a trend to me.

So what? There are tons of two-faced coaches who are awesome off the court but insufferable on...

I'm of the opinion that NCAA officiating gets worse and worse every tournament. So far this tournament has been an absolute joke when it comes to officiating.

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

If Oglesby works another game in this tournament it is a shame. The fact he's working at all is a shame. He is awful.

The fact that you're posting as a whiny, pissy fanboy on an officiating forum is also a shame.

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.

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.
