Tony bleeping Padilla???


Oh, FFS!! Has he regularly worked in other conferences this season? If not, perhaps Houston can work his predilection for stupid technicals to their advantage...somehow. Certainly, Coach Sampson will know to remind his players not to say anything or make any signals after a great play. Ugh...this sucks.

Never point to the replay screen. That’s an automatic technical (sometimes).

Kipp Kissinger and Marques Pettigrew not getting the Final Four is criminal.

Desai and Shows getting it over them is just unfathomable.
 
He got a show cause and was fired from Indiana, for one. It was kind of a big deal. Plus Oklahoma was put on probation for 3 years.
Might seem "silly" now but it was still quite a few violations.....

Where does it rank for other coaches?

it was honestly a bit ridiculous. He got in trouble for impermissible texts and phone calls.
 
should make for a hell of a final 4
I agree!

SEC Regular Season Champion vs. SEC Tournament Champion in one semi-final and Big XII Regular Season and Tournament Champion vs. ACC Champion in the other semi-final.

Best of the Best.
Miramar.
Top Gun!

Realize I’m late to this but I was banned…

First of all Texas Tech obviously choked down the stretch. Not saying they didn’t blow it.

But wow did the refs completely carry Florida all game especially up to about the 30 minute mark. At one point Tech had NINE more field goals yet it was a very close game somehow. I really think it should have been about a 20-25 point insurmountable lead for Tech.

For such a “down” year the big 12 was competent officiating away from having 2 of the Final Four. I thought BYU got pretty poor calls too but Alabama would have smoked anybody that day the way they hit 25 3s.
