Fire the BSC Director of Officials

[Skippy]

Speaking of Big Sky officials:

OGDEN, Utah (January 4, 2016)- The Big Sky has temporarily removed three women’s basketball officials from assignment for misapplication of a rule during the Northern Arizona-Montana State game in Bozeman, Mont. on January 2.

Lorena Ahumada, Sydney Mott and Josh Rombach have been suspended for one Big Sky game for failing to apply a rule correctly.

At the end of the fourth quarter, with the score tied at 71, the officials cleared the foul count. However, according to Rule 5, Section 9, Article 4, each extra period is an extension of the fourth period and therefore the team fouls should not have been cleared.

During the extra period, Northern Arizona was fouled a total of two times and Montana State was fouled over five times. Montana State went on to win the game 86-77.

The officials will be removed from an assignment, as a penalty, for one game, but will return to working status after the one-game removal.

“As a league, we are very supportive of our officials and defer to them for judgment calls,” said Big Sky Conference Commissioner Doug Fullerton. “But on an application of a rule, with three officials on the floor, we expect them to get it right. While we do not know if this misapplication had an effect on the outcome of the game, this misapplication cannot be ignored or tolerated and our officials must be held accountable for the mistake.”

Sooooo, misallocation of free throws is way more important than blows to the head that can, and do. result in major injuries to players. Hmmmm, I guess we can see where Fullerton's head is at. I would come out and say it, butt it is a little gross.

It is really no wonder that the BSC officiating is the worst in the country, maybe the world. :yikes:

He's busy dreaming about Marla. Can you believe she has been able to keep her job for 16 years?

 

[oldrunner]

If I would have been that incompetent, I would have been fired within the first 6 months. She must be really good at something, not related to her job. :doh:

 

[weberwildcat]

im embarrassed to say this but i had no clue womens hoops played 4 quarters. why would it be different though?

 

[sacstateman]

the only way she could get canned in California is if she was a heterosexual Republican.....then she would be toast for sure....

 

[oldrunner]

If she is all of that, then she is perfectly safe in Utah. In fact, she will likely be our next Governor. Probably why Fullerton moved his offices to Utah. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Or, maybe, it was the multiple wife thing. :shocking:

 

[weberwildcat]

Doug had 2 wives I think, could be way off, but I think he was divorced in the 50s though. The only polyg I've ever known was bengalhater.

 

[oldrunner]

He, probably, doesn't want to marry her, or he would have done it already. However, he sure does want to keep her around. It doesn't show from her picture, but she probably has a lot to offer. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Should we start a rumor about a three way, with Bengalhater in the mix? :yikes:

Don't want to get into trouble here by carrying on a political discussion and I promise I won't follow this up with anything (no matter what).

But Sac keep in mind that the U joined the PAC and secular liberalism is pretty rampant at the Cancer in the Corner (and BTW, they were accepted for their liberalism, not their sports programs despite the fantasies of their ultra-annoying fans). So today SLC installed a new gay mayor and gay city councilman (which is OK, I'm not beating that drum) and on the radio they interviewed a gal who said:

"This is a great day for us. The queering of Utah is really progressing!"

Excuse me? The queering of Utah? NTA! New terminology alert!

I'm PC enough to not have used the term "queer" for a heck of a long time. But trust me, I'm chuckling at both your quote and hers... in a somber, baffled, white, 60-year old, moderate Republican way...

HAHAHA

This auto-edited my post -- G A Y is "non-hetero" and Q U E E R is "unusual"!!! Too dang funny!!!! :rofl:

 

[weberwildcat]

mr pirate,

i did that a few yrs back because of too much name calling and slurs between wsu and griz fans, well mostly griz fans.

:rofl:

you really dont want to see the sensor list but ill happily remove it all if everyone hates it. :yikes:

Don't do it for me. I enjoy more polite discussion so if the mods think it is needed, no problem. Just given the fact I was trying to be careful with the discussion and the non-hetero's have tagged themselves "unusual" makes it kind of funny. That was once a pretty ugly slur.

I guess it's just another one of those we can say it, but you can't type of words.

And Sir Velo -- no auto-editing this time, I entered the correct board words on my very own, ha!

well the secret is if you want to the board to be extra crude just spell most of the cool words incorrectly. :lol:

It is very, very, very clear that whomever this man is he should be fired, and right now.

He has, obviously, put such an emphasis on hand checking that the refs no longer see anything else. They don't see elbows to the head, they missed several, they don't see slaps to the face, they missed at least 10 of those, they refused to call obvious traveling, until the crowd forced them into it, and they had no respect from anybody. They did, however, call many hand checks, even if they had nothing to do with the play. Those refs were not there to protect the players or to call a fair game, they were there to not get called on the carpet for not calling hand checking. That was one of the worst displays of officiating I have witnessed.

This is exactly why Jeremy got his jaw broken last year, and they tried to do it again this year. I don't know if it was the same refs involved this year. I hope not. It does seem like it was ISU though. Anyway, those guys should not be allowed to do another NCAA game, ever.

The game film should be sent to the NCAA and they should fire the entire BSC staff and have one of our local high school staffs start assigning refs. The officiating probably wouldn't get any better, but it darn sure wouldn't get any worse.

If the BSC Com. wants to do something proactively, he should call in his Director of Officials and fire him on the spot. :wall:

Mmmm, yeah, good luck with all that. I took some time to watch this game again, paying close attention to contact and player reaction. I'm not seeing anything remotely close to what you're describing. As far as BSC officiating goes, I don't think it was too different from average. Just because Senglin catches a trailing elbow from a sweeping motion with the ball doesn't make it the worst officiating ever. There is nothing overly apparent to indicate that the elbow contact was intentional or malicious. Yes, ISU was scrappy and had many foul calls that looked like good calls to me. Yes, some calls looked like they were missed and there always will be some, but I did not see this officiating crew as being any worse than many others I've seen. Both SUU games last season were were much more physical with many more frustrating calls and no-calls alike. Admittedly, I did not see this game from row 2 and, in fact, I wasn't able to see this one in person. Still, the horrible officiating and dirty play just wasn't obvious to me watching it, twice.

OK, I'm going to add this to this thread...Last night, with 6 secs left, we inbound, bring the ball across half court and shoot (and make) a three..at the same moment the ref blows the whistle, the refs go to the scorers table and look at the monitor for 5 mins...when they come back, they give us the ball, take the 3 off the board, and reset at 3 secs....WTF....THEY BLEW THE PLAY DEAD AND ENDED UP NOT CALLING ANYTHING....NO CALL AT ALL...THEY JUST TOOK OUR 3 PTS AND SET THE CLOCK AT 3.....I have never in my 65 years seen a ref blow a whistle and not make any call....I tried to figure it out and rationalize it but I can't make any sense of it...if he blew the whistle for a foul then we would have shot fts (we were in the double bonus), if it was a violation then MSU would have gotten the ball...Any other possible scenarios????

I have now seen the replay thanks to PotomacGriz and can see the problem...timekeeper didn't start the clock properly so we didn't get the hoop but the refs should have reset the clock at 6 secs and had us inbound from the far baseline....oh well, just another night in the BSC...

 

[oldrunner]

The only thing I have to add is....:

What? No. Not another clock operator problem in Sac!!!! :lol: :lol: :LMFAO:
