That was not a headbutt. The ref approached Hurley and initiated it. I actually think it was the ref's way of congratulating Hurley in a quiet way. He didn't have to shake his hand and look biased. They know each other fairly well.
That ref wasn't chosen to work the Final Four. It wasn't...
Hey, this is all about the kids. They don't play zone in the NBA.
Of course, Pope's players will leave to play in the YMCA league. I play there. I'm old and tire easily. So, we play zone. A lot.
Maybe it's a good idea after all.
It's amazing to me how most seem to have forgiven Pitino for doing the unforgivable.
I've softened a lot myself. Shows you time truly can heal all (most) wounds.
I've already moved on from this season. My concern now is finding a way to avoid the NIT next year.
If Pope can't convince ONE high schooler to come here, then I've no confidence he can convince decent college players to come.
Sorry, I digressed. Me angry.
Davis led the Heels to the championship game four years ago. Two seasons ago, UNC won the ACC, got a 1-seed and Davis was named ACC Coach of the Year. A couple seasons later, and he's out the door. But UNC is right. Sometimes you can just see the writing on the wall, despite recent success.

They shot 15 free throws to our 3. With that disparity, I’ve never seen a coach not get on the refs’ case at least a time or two.
And no, I’m not complaining about the refs. Just pointing out that Pope needs a mean streak.
I would guess that almost everyone on here is a diehard Kentucky fan. However, some of us find it perfectly OK to complain when we're forced to accept a mediocre product. I don't know. I'm just crazy like that.
