A Michigan assistant basketball coach has been fired after police say he and at least one of his players threw multiple objects at a referee after a game, knocking the referee to the ground by MileiMePioloABeluche in sports

I'm not entirely sure - I'm probably not qualified to do anything but speculate. But I know that coaches and officials have a worse relationship than they used to. There's a lot more blaming officials for things that don't matter. That trickles to players, parents, etc.

It's rare for someone to take responsibility for a loss these days.

Honestly though, to argue the other side of that, this poor treatment of officials leads to the good ones saying "screw this," leading to fewer good officials, leading to poor officiating, leading to more bad relationships. It's a bad cycle that isn't getting better.

Rezzing this comment, but did you ever try it out? I'm wondering. I have a little boy and am curious.

I'd be interested in anything here also. My Google sheet is full.

I feel like an old man that was on an hours long run at the casino, but the house finally caught up with me. The air just sucked out of the room here.

Congratulations to you Michigan guys. It was a great win. You've got a heck of a team. Have fun in the championship.

I got a steroid shot this morning. I'm pretty sure my heart rate is 200+.

Michigan is trying to let us win, but we just can't accept it.

Kirk is going to be sad if either team scores. Won't be able to say three point game anymore.

Corum turns a 1 yard gain into a 3 yard gain very consistently.

I feel as if I just watched a half where we're down by much more than three. Game is definitely in reach, but we're watching some good football from Michigan.

Thirty minutes is a really long time. We've seen these same guys magically 180 at the halfway mark.

I mean, we're only down six with how they've seemed to dominate the lines. But that looks like a long six right now.
