Yep he was. Didn't notice it before this encounter with Smith, but definitely did after.
I mean if has it out for us why didn't he call a tech on Smith?
Zach came between them just at the right time. The Ref. may have been scared to make our pretty calm 7'4" center explode and break him into little pieces.
That would certainly set a precedent. Just like the ref that tossed Scott Drew for being out of the coach's box Saturday.
I mean Smith was pretty animated at the ref, techs have been called for similar behavior before, so seems like an easy call for a ref that wants us to lose.
That ref blew a few calls. I think he was also the ref that called a foul on Mason as Mason was trying to run towards the triggerman with his hands out giving him a target and the Wisconsin player put his face against the back side of Mason's hand trying to fool the fool with the whistle which he did. He made another bad call that was obvious when I watched it again yesterday, but can't recall now what it was...OH he made the "belly call" on Zach. "Belly call", not over the back, not a push in the back, not a push below the waist with the legs, but a "belly call"...
He made a ton of bad calls that went against us.
I try real hard not to blame the refs but danged if I wasn't noticing that ref and his calls.
Not just the calls. His demeaner toward the players. Morton was trying to ask him about a call against him (another bad call) and the guy looked irate, like he wanted to call a technical. Morton appeared to be asking in a very respectful way, and the ref looked irate.
he looked like a closet loosier pissed off about those "uppity Boilermakers".....
Not your point, but it was Morton's worst game in a while.
Go back and watch the play again, Klesmet head went forward, if Mason would of elbowed him his head would of gone backwards, then he lays on the ground acting like had his head bashed in!That ref blew a few calls. I think he was also the ref that called a foul on Mason as Mason was trying to run towards the triggerman with his hands out giving him a target and the Wisconsin player put his face against the back side of Mason's hand trying to fool the fool with the whistle which he did.

That should be reviewed at minimum by the conference and 1 warning and then a game suspension. It's getting out of control and the threat of suspension, should put a stop to it. They deceive the referee and many times easy to do when you just see it out of the corner of your eye, but if that common foul can't be removed by review, then the deception served It's purpose. Everybody will continue to do it until there are serious consequences.
you quoted me but somehow missed what I said inside the quote of my post which was " Wisconsin player put his face against the back side of Mason's hand trying to fool the fool with the whistle which he did."
