College Basketball Thread 2018

How did he not get run for that? And shoving his own assistant like that, smh. So damn disrespectful.

 

He would have scored even more points with me had he taken a swing at TV Ted, the Joey crawford of college hoops referees.

 

TV Teddy stepping in a man's face like that ... it was aggressive.

 

He didn't even get whacked for it.

 

that's insane.

 

The really insane part is at this point, Cronin is wanting a T. They're getting beat, playing like krap, and he's wanting a T, and may even want to get run. Plain and simple.

The situation gets squashed immediately if TV just whacks him, but he's either too arrogant or too game deaf to give it to him.

 

This happened to me 2 years ago.
Umpiring an 18-under baseball tournament out here. Pretty big tournament.
Team A is really really good, Team B is sub.500
Team A is playing like dog ass for the first 4 innings.
I'm umpiring at 1st......I get a bang-banger at 1st.....call a kid safe.
Coach from Team A comes jogging out (who I've known for several years.)
We're probably 6 inches from each other.
"I know he was safe.....and it was a great call, we're playing like a bunch of nimrods......but I've got to act like I give a shit......so the next time I come out, I'm going to act like my ass is on fire, and I want you to run me."
Sadly, I never got the chance.
They pull their heads out of their cranks and end up run-ruling the team in 5 1/2.

 

Hah, I love stories like that. The audio you can hear of managers getting run by MLB umps is some of the most priceless audio in sports.

 

This will never ever ever ever ever be topped.
Earl must have had early dinner plans as he was run with 1 out in the top of the 1st.

 

“Oh, you’re going to be in the hall of fame? For what? Fucking up World Series?”

 

LOL. We both posted the same thing at the same time

 

That is gold. I went to his induction ceremony in 1996, and sadly he didn't go ballistic during his speech. I love that the ump is telling him to go eff himself, like it's no big deal. If this happened today, neither of these two would probably work again.
