No problem with Garrisons, he was being an idiot, but have seen worse in games and officials come in and move the player away with no call and a warning. The one on Mo needs to be turned into the SEC office for review and potential reprimanding of Doug Shows. He did something that is done in every single game without anything happening and rightfully so. If I had been pope I would have lost my **** and gotten ejected on that. That was the worst called Techical foul maybe in the history of the game. It was that bad.

Mo wasn't even looking at an Arkansas player when he was celebrating. Crooked at best.

Nothing will ever top Pat Adams at A&M

The tech on Mo i figured was Ref saying oh Sheat... they missed those free throws so I'll give them two more... we need Ark to cover this second half spread or game spread.... Pope T same reason..since both calls were obviously ridiculous no other explanation than gambling.

Then later on Ref realized Arkansas wasn't going to be able to cover spreads and even potentially lose. Ref calls make up call techs so previous calls dont look as bad.


This is exactly what I would do if I made such bad calls for purpose and go nervous.

That one was definitely more costly but slamming the ball down on the court is at least a technical in some situations. Not there. I have never seen a player given a technical foul for celebrating a play without even looking at another player and was even looking into the crowd. It’s pretty equivalent of giving a player a T for putting their finger over their mouth after hitting a big shot on the road which obviously has never happened either.

The same thing happened to BG at Oklahoma last year where he roared not in the direction of the opponent but got T'ed up.

garrison was stupid to do what he did but why is it a T? they did not call a foul. acuff fell. the play was live. he stood super close to him but its a live play not a dead ball play where you could be taunting or something. if you want to call a foul for not letting acuff get up ok...but it should not have been a tech.

BG will never reach his PRO potential at UK.
He should transf to a high tempo -no defense program like A&M next year.

Agreed, he had enough room to get up and when he did was a ***** because he couldn't score on Garrison. But a personal foul would've been fine if they believed he didn't give enough, I mean crap what's he supposed to do move back five feet so Acuff can get the ball

I sure wish we could see some of the BG attitude when he's playing post defense or blocking out against the big guys. He usually struts his stuff when he gets switched out on the point guard.

The one on Diabate is not called by any other ref on the planet. Shows needs to be investigated. Arky players in the minutes following that had worse displays of celebration/flexing.
Yes they did. The next trip down the floor Richmond swatted the ball out of OO’s hands into the crowd and he was screaming and gesturing to the crowd more than Mo. No call nor should there have been but if you call it on UK then call it on Arky.

Pope had a right to chew on Shows after his crap t. A good ref wouldn’t compound a highly questionable call with another one. Just walk away but no Shows shows his *** again and hits a gentleman coach. Knew he blew it and got called on it.

What a roller coaster ride so far.

Garrison's was called as he was walking away from the player. Standing over guy was iffy, but the tech was bull sh*t.

Mo's was even worse. Criminal.
I’m not a T guy, but go back and watch Garrison’s. That’s a T every single day of the week.

The other 2? Bizarre. Mark only said “it’s not fair” and wasn’t being badgering about it.

MO? It was so bad it made Shows see it at half and defer the entire rest of the game. He disappeared like they’re supposed to anyway.

Show's should be suspended for the tech on Mo. Disgraceful. Could have easily cost us the game.
Also the last play of the game should have been two fouls. Personal for grabbing Noah going for the ball and then a dead ball technical on Brazile for flinging him into the backcourt. Frashilla said the same thing. Shows is as crooked as they come. That is too obvious to miss. Brazile is noting but a dirtbag thug.

It’s a T everyone. He badgered the player with contact and was taunting him. Guys go back and watch it. It was definitely a T. I’m still shocked he did it. Guys IQ is in the tank. To do that at that point and not realize is really low IQ stuff.

He doesn’t always play hard, but when it comes to double teams and pin downs dude for some reason just goes 120%

Unless Mo said something when he was shouting (and I don’t think he did) there’s absolutely no reason for that call.
He didn’t. Go back I’ve gone back and watched 20 times. Said nothing driving the lane and didn’t even acknowledge the player. Nothing was seen by Doug to call it at all, because he was far away and there wasn’t anything to call at all.

Doug was gambling and saw Arkansas needed some help. I’ll never believe anything else.

Then he comes out at halftime knowing he was trending and backed off the entire rest of the game and it was called without any favoritism. It shows these officials can call these games right and don’t.

Not long after that T called on Dioubate there was a dunk by Arkansas. He briefly looked at the UK player and yelled towards his face. I have no problem with taunting Ts. Call them both ******* ways. Its consistency and fairness.

I may be wrong but wasn't that the Orlandis Poole screw job?
I'm talking about when Humphries kind of spiked the ball to himself because he was pumped up. He was going to the line after a rebound to put us up 3 with just seconds left.

He didn't catch the spike though & Pat Adams jumped at the opportunity to give him a T. Cost us the game and the conference that year.

Garrisons T was legit. He taunted. You could have warned and moved on BUT he did taunt so I'm ok with a T. The other two were criminal. What Mo did was done no less than 1 billion times across college basketball yesterday. Only one resulted in a technical foul and that was Mo. I personally wish whenever he does a game at Rupp they start booing him from the start.

I get the BG one. But they let Wagner push Chandler down with no review. It was getting chippy before that. MO’s was criminal. Pope wasn’t any worse than Izzo or any other coach constantly is. If anyone earned the right to be angry, it was him. Ref called it with his back turned
You typed my thoughts exactly & I might add that we already know that Pope doesn't cuss so Doug Shows made it all about himself & gave Pope a "T".

It sure did! Cost us the outright SEC title! Believe it was 2016.

The tech on Mo was in the second half. That’s when most of the T’s were called.
