TV Ted "considering retirement"

Good. He can take another couple dozen of the good-ole-boy "all about me" ref network with him. Hoops needs to flush about 3 dozen of these guys minimum.

TV Ted has cost so many teams so many games. I know every fan thinks he is "against" their team but he seems to have a hard-on for a few certain teams in the conference.

Longtime college basketball official, and showboating egomaniac, Ted Valentine.

As far as this latest controversy, with Valentine turning his back on a player who was arguing a (badly) missed call, I don't really see what the big deal is. Must be more of a cumulative effect, where the sport has just finally had enough of the guy.

oh!!!!!! NOW I know!!! And the funny thing is, the Carolina player is one of the very few I've ever liked from there...I was thinking he got a raw deal on that play....

Teddy is a showboat, always has been, not sure many coaches or for that matter any of his partners really get along with him either. every call he makes is the biggest call of the night and his arrogance annoys the piss out of me. good bye Teddy if that is in fact what you are going to do.
