Haven’t seen this posted, but referee Anthony Jordan was suspended for 2019 SEC tournament because of favoritism in LSU-UT game where he called more fouls on UT than other officials combined. He had previously posted a picture online holding an LSU shirt

Yes- this was last year.
He called an awful game. The suspension, however, resulted from him posting a picture with an LSU shirt. As I recall, he explained it as being overseas and thinking it was neat seeing a conference short- so he took a picture.

Jordan has a strong dislike for Cal or at least he does not like Cal yelling at him. Every UK game he calls he makes 90% of the calls and seems intent on showing Cal he is the boss on the floor.

Dude needs to be blackballed from calling UK games.

He and Cal have an ongoing feud that Cal can't win.

Jordan can T up Cal for screaming and yelling and Cal can't do a dam thing about his pitiful, biased, (crooked) officiating.

I don't believe any of these refs are straight up legit. Too much has happened and is happening for me to believe otherwise.
The ref with the eye roll at Hagans. Cal getting tossed at Ark. This is just the last two games. I'm not sure what can be done or that anything will be done.
I just feel UK has to almost be prefect to win in the tourney nowadays to have a legit shot. Refs have way too much control and power and not near enough accountability. That's a bad mixture.

Odds that he is one of the officials Jeff Goodman is referring to?

How did it get like this? I mean, what happened to get it to this point? How do grown men do kids like this? Why do grown men do kikds like this? I don't understand it.

$$$. It’s sad, but that’s the world we live in. Kids and the NCAA and coaches and schools are taking in millions, and the refs want their piece of the pie.
So they are getting money to do it or they are gambling on the games and that's why they do it? Whatever the reason is, it needs investigated thoroughtly imo.
I don't think I've ever watched a game where one team was into the bonus 5 mins into a half and the other team still didn't have a foul called on them. That is as blatant as it gets imo.

Jordan called it. He yanked his arm straight up so fast you'd think God was pulling it out of the socket. He was so excited to toss Cal.

No he didn't.

Jordan was elsewhere when Technical wàs called. Evans calls first then second along with Shey.

He and Jordan tied on the second technical on Cal, but Cal was screaming at Jordan, not Stephens.

Stephens was just standing between Cal and Jordan.

No. Watch the video. Guy with hair calls two techs. Announcer is wrong. Evans and Shey called the second.

I posted and replied to this earlier if he was the one with the T shirt supporting LSU. He should not be allowed to do anymore SEC games EVER!!!
Not to mention he went to HS twenty minutes from LSU's campus! Do you think he might be a closet LSU fan? I mean does the NCAA not do any homework on these guys?

Cal was not "screaming" at them. But yeah, he did follow them out on the court to confront them,,,,,and rightfully so.

Because there is no public accountability and there is no governing board for referees. These guys are allowed to work WAY too many games, allowed to be far too out of shape and

People have to be from somewhere. Where do you want them to find referees, in Guam?

There are 4-5 NCAA officials (including in the SEC) who are from and/or live in Lexington.

Under Cal, UK is 39-7 in games reffed by Jordan. He has never called a technical in any game he has reffed involving UK.

If a ref is from Ky then he should not be doing UK games. It’s not a stretch to say Jordan is a closet LSU fan. Guess who’s battling LSU for the regular season SEC title? UK.

Just call the damn game correctly both ways is all I ask STOP with the ASSUMPTION calls!!!
This right here. Someone was arguing with me on here the other day. Ahhhh, yes, @IUfanBorden was the poster. He asked if I really believed that a ref could make biased calls within a split second. LMAO REALLY?! Ummmm hell yes they can!

They make assumption calls because in the back of their mind (subconscious), their hatred for Cal just automatically causes them to make absolute **** calls on us. I mean, whether it’s a fraction of a second or sixty seconds is irrelevant. Unbelievable question IMO. Must be nice to be a fan of a program that doesn’t have to deal with this seemingly every game. Good Lord.

As I said in another thread, I think Sportscenter and SEC now should do a ‘top 10 worse calls” every day with pictures and names of the refs. Hopefully it would embarrass them enough to clean up the game.

At least it would highlight which officials are on there the most. If these guys want TV time so much, give it to them.

With LSU sitting at the top of the SEC standings, what team has the best chance to overtake them?

Mr. Jordan KNOWS UK is the MAIN competition for LSU in the SEC this season, so why not call EVERY possible foul or violation within your power when calling a UK game?!!!

That BULLCRAP call on EJ was horrible, but the Flagrant 1 on Immanuel at the end of the game was 1,000 TIME WORSE!!! Arky fouled him TWICE before he even cleared space WITH HIS ELBOW DOWN(which is the CORRECT WAY TO DO IT). But this IDIOT called that foul and it not only gave ARKY the foul shots instead of Quickly it also gave them the ball out of bounds.

I'm not even mentioning the 2 FLOPS that Arky pulled on Sestina and Hagans, either!! you could read Cal's lips imploring the WHOLE crew that those were definitely FLOPS!! Yet those DOLTS reviewed them and changed NOTHING!! I thought the REFS were supposed to be EMPHASIZING calling Flops?!!!!!

He should NEVER call another UK game!!!
