I don't know if anyone followed the story with Sean Miller's technical foul during the UCLA game this year, and the ensuing blowup on the court, in the press conference, followed by his getting fined $25k afterwards by the Pac-12.

If you did follow all that, then THIS story becomes rather alarming:

Rush needs to be fired.  I don't care if it was a joke--if you're in his position, YOU CAN'T MAKE THAT JOKE.  Period.  It's pretty disturbing that Larry Scott doesn't realize this.

I don't even think it is a matter of whether it was a joke or not.

Isn't that pretty much what I said?

I wasn't disagreeing with you.

Not that I'm rooting for Syracuse, but I still can't figure out how you determine an offensive charge in a situation like that, when a defender has his feet planted.  I mean, the guy was in the air.

Sometimes I just don't understand this game.

Louisville and Michigan.  That will be a hell of a game.

You look to see if the defender has both feet planted at the moment the guy with the ball leaves the ground.  I saw it as maybe a 60/40 charge/block call.  The bad call came right before, when they fouled out Carter-Williams when the Michigan player clearly gave him a forearm shiver.

Well, this one's turning out to be interesting.  Fuck, Louisville is fast.

Beilein's team racking up 3's to get out to a big lead, Pitino's Cardinals come back & erase the deficit like nothing happened.  I've seen this before.  Elite 8, 2005.  WVU couldn't miss a 3, including an almost half-court shot from Beilein's son.  Then Pitino, almost as if he purposefully had been holding back, unleashed hell.

Yeah I was excited to be in 2nd until I saw that he had the same final 2 as I had.  And it looks like I'll be one spot away from winning some money in my Bengals pool.

Michigan played a hell of a lot deeper into the tourney than I expected, and they gave Louisville a good game.  No dishonor in that.

In non-NCAA news, but still basketball related...

I was just asked if I would be interested in working a minor league professional game this weekend.

Time to go bone up on my NBA rules...

Rule 1: let the Lakers win.

With all the UK and Cincinnati fans in my office, Louisville is generally hated. 

I'm okay with it, though I would've liked to see Beilein's team win.
