Just heard on Sports Center that the Big 12 Office will review the Niang no call

[IAmNotTheMayor]

I counted his arm movement and he was at 6 when EJ started his move to the basket. He stopped his arm movement at 7 counts.

I have never seen an official actually make a 5 second call late in a game. They just go through the motions of counting, but never make a call. Ball handlers know this fact, and they pretend like the rule doesn't exist. That's why Self told his defenders to play off when we were burning the clock, so they didn't risk a foul. If the powers that be wanted it to be enforced, it could be. But sadly, it's another ignored rule like carrying and traveling. Either enforce the rules or take them off the books.

If I were Hoiberg I'd tell the league that he doesn't want O'Neill to ref any of ISU's games for the rest of the year. This is something the league could accommodate if they wanted. Then we can see how serious they take these reviews.

I don't think we'll have to worry about seeing Tommy reffing any of our games the rest of the year no matter what the league office decides to do. I'm guessing the officiating schedule has already been readjusted to avoid that situation.

And then Tommy will pop up at just the right time in a future season to curse the Cyclones once again. Wasn't good old Tom one of the refs at KU in 2004? That should disqualify him for ISU games for life.

Tom O'Neill will never again be welcome at Hilton. The fans will always remember the thuglife ref.

[cmjh10]

so i say the refs gave it to KU and he gets upset and starts yelling at me saying the refs gave it to ISU for the first 39 minutes. Then he tells me ISU needs to learn to finish games (true) and says I need to stop whining about it. He was literally yelling at me about how ISU fans are babies.

He's my bosses boss and head of the company. Nothing I can do but smile and say "we'll get ya next time". Then he says "not likely" and walks away.

That was ballsy of you

Good thing I'm old and retired because if I had your job, I'd be guaranteed to be looking for another one.

You obviously need to find a better job.

guy sounds like a major ******.

Pretty normal Kansas fan.

[GMackey32]

I had a UNI fan make the ballsy statement of "I remember when UNI could beat Kansas" to me last night after the game...

He's the leader of the company? I would have serious concerns about the long-term outlook for that company if I were in your position.

I'm guessing that mtowncyclone's bosses boss is a KU basketball, Iowa football fan?

[Clone96]

We can have a little back and forth about a basketball game considering he was on the winning end twice this year. If ISU won twice I'd keep my dang mouth shut. I was surprised how vicious he got even though they won. How was that ballsy of me?

Just say to him "At least we swept that power team, TCU."

[weR138]

Means nothing.

Haven't read the whole thread so sorry if this has been brought up but my initial sense was that it does indeed mean something. A lot, actually. Is this the conference sending a message to the selection committee to give us a pass on this one?

[ajk4st8]

Wouldnt he have a Texas Tech reply?
