It's sad when we can recognize who the bad officials are before the game even begins. At the WKU game on Saturday there was an official that 5 minutes into the game, myself and the person next to me started talking about remembering him (good officials should be ones that are forgettable) and then we prognosticated that he would call a technical foul before the game was over. Well the 2nd half came along, Stansbury was arguing with an official about a no call on a Hollingsworth physical lay up, and the official we had talked about earlier T'd up Stansbury from the other end of the court. The official Stansbury was talking to wasn't the one who made the call...it was his cohort 50 feet away and the one I always recognize as a bad official when I see him. This doesn't include all of his horrendous calls both ways during the game.

Point is...officials like the guy in the OP and the one at the WKU game seem to try to make it all about them. It seems to me these guys want to be in the spotlight and relish in drawing the ire of the crowd. These guys, especially the one in the La Tech game, need to go through retraining or something before they can officiate another game.
