So we’ll see him in the NIT?

Not really a Teddy fan, but it seems rather ridiculous to ban him from the NCAAt for a stupid Covid related incident from 2021.

Agreed.

Next to the terms ‘arbitrary’ and ‘capricious’ is the NCAA logo.

“He’s still maybe the best ‘play caller’ in the game among the referees,” added a Hall of Fame coach.

JB?

TV Teddy is a showman, but he’s not that bad.

It’s the Roger Ayer’s and Brian O’Connells of the world that truly suck.

Did you notice after the game last night he and JB were joking and laughing together.?

Missed that. The biggest criticism I've heard of TV Teddy is he likes to still call fouls in blowouts like it's a close game in the Final Four. Some don't like the showboating, but he gets most calls correct.

Anyone know why Jamie Luckie did not officiate in the tournament last year and maybe the year before too?

I saw JB laughing. Didn't have a good look at Valentine's face but from what I could see, I thought he looked serious. I thought maybe JB was laughing off some negative comment that Valentine might have made.

maybe its his crew that I dislike...and not actually him...but those guys are the worst.

 

[Bayside44]

The reasoning is absurd.

 

[Willy75]

I read the story 3x. What exactly did he do to be penalized? Take “someone representing the NCAA“ at their word?

Bad Luckie?

Joke. Not sure. I have not been super impressed with his work.

He was up all night to get Luckie?

Yup, saw that too. What's funny is that during the game I remember thinking that Teddy V was more often than not giving SU the benefit of calls that could be 50/50. Not saying that was factual, just that it seemed like it to me in the moment.

Joke. Not sure. I have not been super impressed with his work.

He looks older than JB.

 

[UpstateSM]

The reasoning is absurd.

I somehow missed this story last March. One of the best refs, and others, in the sport isn’t allowed to work the biggest tournament in sports because a hotel and NCAA admin couldn’t do their jobs?

Would be unbelievable if it wasn’t the NCAA.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Bad Luckie?

Joke. Not sure. I have not been super impressed with his work.

Luckie gave me my first technical in my second game as coach. He screwed us the entire game. I couldn’t take it anymore.

 

[Scooch]

The reasoning is absurd.

Agree. And it’s not even “reasoning”. The guy doesn’t appear to have done anything wrong.
