TrueHoosier62 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 As is often the case this year, we come out with a win, and none of us is quite sure how we should feel about it afterwards. It's a bit like watching your mother-in-law drive your new Cadillac off the edge of a cliff, whereupon impact, it bursts in to flames, killing and destroying everything. I guess there's good and bad in everything. Most of us are happy for the win, to be sure, but the same flaws continue to rear their ugly head at the damnedest times, (mental errors, really), and it leaves you wondering if/when they'll ever "get it". I thought the refereeing was atrocious. It seems that any time Ted Valentine is in charge, you can count on two things. 1.) An abundance of fouls, most of which leave you shaking your head 2.) No consistency. How many steps are allowed in basketball these days? Either the number has risen to five, or Ted can no longer count. raorIU, Alford Bailey, Napleshoosier and 3 others 6 Quote
TheWatShot Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Please share what you find. Lot of "we didn't play well and you only beat us by 4" comments. Didn't know shooting 59% wasn't playing well. HoosierAloha, JaybobHoosier and Bobman1 3 Quote

I guess I can at least say he wasn't solely biased against IU this game. Way too many fouls throughout the game, missed some travels on both sides, especially that OG one near the end that was extremely obvious. And then he pauses the game for 30 seconds for his special time to yell at a coach. Smh guy is a cancer to the game of basketball. Bobman1, Brass Cannon, iamaparker1 and 2 others 5 Quote

Always though coaches should be allowed to pick 1 ref that they don't have to deal with each year. Feel like Valentine would be out of a job. Tom White, TrueHoosier62 and Crimson and Cream 3 Quote

He'd be out of a job for every B1G team except Michigan St. TrueHoosier62 1 Quote
biteoftheapple Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 I am unsure if the rule still exists, but a school used to be able to request to not have a particular referee. The B1G would then take it into consideration. Quote
Hoosier DaDa Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 So IU wins, Purdue loses, and Kentucky loses all in the same day? Sure, I'll have some more alcohol to celebrate that........ I thought that stuff was illegal in Alaska. ALASKA HOOSIER 1 Quote

Crimson and Cream Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Dakich once made fun of him and said he always stops a game at some point to get everyone in the building to look at him. He does it multiple times per game. Funny that Dakich said that because he's been known to say things just for the media attention. NRT137 1 Quote
biteoftheapple Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 He does it multiple times per game. Funny that Dakich said that because he's been known to say things just for the media attention. But there is a difference between a referee and a radio sports talk host. Hovadipo and mamasa 2 Quote
HoosierAloha Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Yeah, that was really odd on OG's free throw. I think Z3 was leaving the block to move behind the arc before TV Teddy tossed OG the ball. TV Teddy then takes the time to stop the show to get his time. That dudes odd. Alford Bailey 1 Quote

A "cancer" isnt nearly a harsh enough insult for him, he literally ruins every game he refs. Gotta be some conspiracy as to why someone as awful at their job as him is still employed.

TheWatShot Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 "At the end of the day, we are still Boilermakers as opposed to the alternative" The Paint Crew tweeted that after the game. Quote
HoosierAloha Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 The goal tending call.. That was the correct call right? pu fans believe they were struck by the "Hall of Calls" on that one. When have you been able to practically move the rim on a shot attempt? That just seems like common sense to me... Quote

Edit: I'm not saying Hammons intentionally hit the rim. He had a good block attempt. Alford Bailey and Napleshoosier 2 Quote
