Devin Thomas and ACC Officals

Watch the press conference - Danny tells you what he thinks of the technical and reffing in general with how he answers (2:08 - 2:40 mark, then again at 6:05 mark)

He is very good at keeping his shit together when about 90% of us would have been at least hinting that the refs blew that night. He knows the ramifications of showing his ass about officiating, and just took it like a man with short (yet clearly passionate) answers. I may not agree with some of his coaching decisions, but I do like his demeanor this season. He will get to act however he wants to once he becomes the coaching success that he's trying to be.

Also, why in the flying fuck is the referee staring Devin in the eyes when he should be paying attention to what's happening at the free throw line?

Devin needs to know better than to engage in a stare off but that doesn't change the fact that what he did wasn't a T. Seniors have to know better and you really have to know better when playing Duke. This happens all the time against Duke and you have to be expecting it.

Coach K should have gotten a T multiple times from what I could tell based on language you could see on the tv. He was just cussing a ref out after Duke got called for a charge in the first half. You could see the f bombs and everything from his lips.

But his mouth is so small!
 
I hate Thomas Hill and William Avery.

Oh, and Trajan Langdon and that douchebag who did the pushups.

dahntay sp? jones was the worst. carlos boozer has also proved himself to be one that carried on the k legacy during his pro career as well.
 
The list of Dook players you didn't hate is probably much shorter.

Daniel Ewing.

I think that's it for me.
 
Was it Sulaimon who stole it when we were running out the clock after beating them?
 
I still haven't rewatched Kennard's flop on the blow-by by (I think) CMM. He got our player to jump, then instead of take the open two unimpeded, flailed his right arm before shooting (and I believe making) the shot. It was so ridiculous.

It was against UNC in the first round of the ACC Tourney in Atlanta. It was Charlie Thomas for Wake and the UNC player was Warren Martin. They changed the rule soon after that to allow players to hang on the rim in order to prevent potential injury. It was technically a correct call but I imagine that if the situation were reversed that it wouldn't have been called. As I recall, we were winning before that call.

Ah, I knew it was 'Warren', Moon's a football QB (not UNC of course). We were on our way to a huge upset as UNC was #6 at the time. Lost 72-61 in OT, so clearly the technical enabled OT to happen.
 
Dantay Jones. Grant Hill and Battier are half white. Hurley is the worst white bitch. Laetner and Reddick are a close second.
 
Sorry about that last post. Was typing an email to the local newsroom and got distracted.
 
Seems slightly odd that Devin says he was frustrated at himself, not the call... and then stares at an official. That makes no sense.

It makes no sense because it's a lie. He was angry at the official. He stared and barked at him. The official warned him no more. Devin continued. Devin received a technical.

Life isn't that complicated.

That same referee also warned Coach K no more. Coach K continued. Coach K didn't receive a technical. Coach K continues to yell at said ref outside of a timeout huddle. Coach K doesn't receive a technical. Coach K then turns around and yells at another ref. Coach K doesn't receive a technical.

Forgive me for not taking the referees seriously and as the epitome of professionals for the clear and obvious double standard being employed here.

Sometimes life is a little more complicated with those questionable standards.
