we also hedged against butler and basically doubled them up on the boards.
Roberts almost tossed a fan last night from the same on court seats Bouk got tossed from. Had a brief conversation with the fan who eventually apologized, but he came close to Rossi g him. Things were at a fever pitch for a moment.
I'm sure it was unacceptable in the eyes of those who reffed that game. That other crews are remembering it a year later? As you said, hard to believe but not impossible.
IIRC, Bouknight received a warning first, and was tossed after repeatedly disrupting ongoing play. I assume the apologetic fan last night only needed the warning.
I agree. Just pointing out an observation. I will say conduct during the game does have an effect. After the Hurley T you could see the refs huddling during a time out complaining to each other (assume about coach). Human nature to be impatient at that point. Some of these refs take it to a personal level.
As I said previously when we play full court defense it took the high hedge fiasco off the table - that’s when those problems went away and we took the lead.
It is really a bad look when people in University AD designated seats are behaving like that. Who is selecting these clowns to sit there?
I have a lot of empathy for the woman who was sent down to manage James and his posse buddy, but it was clear when they showed up at Gampel, given their condition, Hurley appeared to want nothing to do with them. I think if you show up obviously in that condition, the school has every right to say, you are not sitting in our 1st row court side seats today.
If the refs feel they have to control the game because building security won’t help if things get out of hand, you get a quicker T whistle. You can make the argument we deserved them and not knowing what was said, I have no opinion on that. But, I also know often they choose not to hear comments, as long as they are not prolong or overly aggressive. Given everything those are the ones that we have greater exposure to now.
Why?
I am available to sit there and will enthusiastically cheer for the team while retaining an appropriate level of decorum.
One could make a valid argument that the reputations of Andre (tech in Butler’s game) and the antics of last season by Hurley factored into the technicals in this game if one needs to get into the heads of why refs make their calls.
It looks like he lost some weight since the season started. That used to happen to me, gaining muscle in the offseason/pre-season and then losing it during the season.
Or when someone pretends that there’s some thing to complain about a packed Gampel during season break?
I agree Robert’s is a quick, aggressive whistle with us right now. I think both sides need to calm down and work it out. Can’t say though he was quick with James - he warned him repeatedly. That we let that go on even before the ejection is something we need to make sure never happens again. I think it would be good to have a more secure look now so the refs don’t feel they need a quick whistle to keep the lid on things.
Lol - But my point is it may have impacted Tuesday’s game. Definitely, an area we need to address this season.
No one was T'ed up vs. Butler. Jackson was T'ed up vs. Gtown for taunting the Gtown bench had had been chirping up to that point as well. Hurley even referenced in his post game remarks.
Oh great 4 pages on Chiefs technical foul conspiracy theory to open the door to bring up Bouknight...
Dre T’d for retaliation foul on Manny Bates screen I thought.
To my recollection he did not receive a technical for that, although he should have.
I’d like to hear more about this as well. I thought akok was in the same boat as gaffney where his minutes were disappearing so he was going to a place where he would have a better chance to be on the court.
We got whistled for 2 quick T’s. The opponents zero. That’s a fact not a theory. Lol
