Mike FN Stuart? He can't do our game, he's a fn idiot with an agenda!

 

[James]

WHAT? how does that guy have a job still? no less a final four gig! that marquette game was a travesty, him kicking out KO was worst. ncaa is trippin

 

[61cygni]

As soon as I saw the thread title, my gut knew Mike Stuart would be there and heart dropped to my stomach.

 

[jho]

Stuart just worked the Florida-Dayton game, so I doubt we'll see him Saturday.

 

[BoatShow]

Yeah there is a zero percent chance Stuart does the game Saturday.

 

[FluxTZ]

How do the assignments work based on previous games?

 

[DDaileyuconn]

No Teddy Valentine?

Stuart did the worst officiating job I have ever seen in my 24 years as a season ticketholder.

 

[Tbone4457]

You have to wonder how a ref who is so bad that even the announcers can't make sense of his calls gets a chance to ref the biggest games of the year. Due to past performance the NCAA gives us no reason to trust them and I'm sure ratings-wise they like the sound of FL v KY. Let's just hope we don't get him again. If we do, Coach O. needs to work the refs through media exposure like Phil Jackson did as a coach.

Can't worry about the officials, just hit your shots

 

[joober jones]

Trusting Mike Stuart to competently officiate a final four game that includes UConn is like trusting a fat lady in a Hoveround at Walmart to guard a box of chocolates.

I agree, but it's really hard to hit a shot when you get mauled taking it and there isn't a foul called.
