ELG.
Something for you to ponder.
Would they need to get old umpires out to adjudicate games if the young umpires were not making themselves unavailable because of constant abuse and standover tactics from players and coaches.
Maybe you can consider your actions on Monday night.
Continually spraying the refs when on the sideline. Constantly rubishing decisions when on court.
Coming up to the umpires at the end of the game and giving them a spray of abuse supported by a barrage of foul language.
Even when warned a number of times you did not relent.
Great leadership from the captain/coach of this team.
So in future you may need to look a little closer to home when handing out criticisms on a public forum.
Be a part of the solution not the problem.
p.s. 2 techs - 1 on the Tiger's bench in the fourth quarter from the referee (current ABA) and 1 on you after you had fouled out in the fourth quarter(from the old guy)(therefor a bench tech).
1 unsporting foul (not a T)on you in the second quarter (from the umpire with the walking frame).
So much for handing out T's willy nilly. I guess it doesn't make good reading unless you make it sound worse than it is.


Hey Gaymond. Get your facts straight.
2 techs handed out. 1 by each umpire and 1 to each bench after several warnings regarding comments from the bench. My guess is that you lost.
Sour grapes from an ordinary basketballer.
