Message: [QUOTE="Senor Blue, post: 4214241, member: 11885"] First tech was borderline at best. I was behind the UConn bench and Hurley was between me and the play. OBVIOUS blown call on Rese going up for a layup - compounded by Rese getting blown for a soft call at the other end of the floor. Hurley turned and gave a two hand slam on the scorers table - while the refs (Breeding, who has a long history with Hurley) were all the way down the floor. There were legitimately 5-6 seconds between that slap and the whistle. Now, Hurley turned away from the crowd and towards the court - so I couldn't tell you if he said anything or not to Breeding. But say he did - fine, MAYBE you call the tech there. Maybe. But the fact that the refs had swallowed their whistles for the first 15 minutes and then all of a sudden started calling a ticky tack game because they felt they wanted to be heard was ridiculous for a game of that magnitude. The second tech? We don't need to re-hash but that was clearly a situation that was over and done with. If a coach can't get the crowd hyped up what are they allowed to do at home? If James Breeding wasn't holding a personal grudge, and was just "trying to keep the game in control" like a few of the "fans" who had a problem with Hurley in this situation are saying - why wasn't Jay Wright held to the same standard? 2 mins after the Hurley call, Nova threw the ball into the backcourt for a clear backcourt violation. Ball was like 2 feet over Gillispie's head. Breeding was at midcourt right next to the play, and kept the whistle in his pocket. The ref on the baseline 50 feet away had to make the call. Jay Wright came out to mid court screaming about the call (which was obvious), and based on the Hurley ejection should've been hit with a warning at a minimum, if not a tech. The fact that Wright wasn't even warned is total BS and shows that Breeding is a bag of ass, should definitely never be allowed to ref a Hurley game again, potentially a Big East game for the rest of this year, and I sincerely hope he has diahrrea for the next 3-5 days.
