Final Four refs

[Cosmo]

One of them called the first Florida-Ohio State game, but I don't remember the name.
For some reason I thought that was odd.

That was Hess.

Simple explanation - collecting on a bet.

You bet on refs? Wow, and I thought I needed to go to a gambling addiction specialist.

Georgetown-Ohio State: Officials—Ted Valentine

How does this guy keep getting good assignments?

The two things I can't stand (and we've dealt with them at the HS level where I coach, too) are officials who let personal disputes spill out onto the court to settle grudges with coaches and officials who seem to believe the crowd paid to watch them, instead of the 10 players in uniform.

I've seen several HS officials do this, but the most blatant violator of both of these at the college level is Ted Valentine. (OK, Ed Hightower violates No. 2 quite a bit, as well, but he's a decent official).
