So much $ at stake now, that there should be no tolerance for garbage reffing.

Mike Reed the lead ref

Thunder

The ref made himself the story. He has a massive ego

Carolina hacked his account.

Q-grr

Mar 23, 12:29pm

Or maybe he's just an inconsistent bad ref & isn't doing it intentionally

MaximusMeridius

Mar 23, 2:59pm

I’ve never been more sure in my life that a ref was inconsistent on purpose than

here's to hoping

Mar 23, 8:50pm

Got it - so you think he decided to risk his job in order to get more attention

MaximusMeridius

Mar 23, 8:59pm

Your premise is that he has only one job or, rather, one major source of income.

Ripliancum

Where did I make that assertion? Try again

MaximusMeridius

Mar 23, 9:59pm

"..he decided to risk his job.."

Ripliancum

Mar 23, 10:37pm

Where does that say anything about only having 1 job?????????

MaximusMeridius

Mar 23, 10:57pm

your premise also relies on his belief that his horrible reffing will "risk" his

here's to hoping

Mar 23, 9:44pm

Refs get scored based on their performance... intentionally making horrible call

MaximusMeridius

Mar 23, 10:00pm

Ok then what is your explaination for his calls? No one can be that bad without

imdocrob

Mar 24, 9:11am

And now we've come full circle

MaximusMeridius

Mar 24, 11:30am

C'mon how can you not think it's intentional when a player points to the score

imdocrob

Mar 24, 12:49pm

you sure got me with the eye roll!!!

imdocrob

Mar 24, 8:38pm

Does he happen to be a close family member per chance?

imdocrob

Mar 24, 8:39pm

Eye roll because you're literally just repeating the same things above

MaximusMeridius

Mar 24, 9:46pm

Lacomb was going off on him… the problem I have with officials is they are so

1984coug

Mar 23, 12:17pm

Have to be graded on their work and publicly held accountable for good and bad.

Q-grr

Mar 23, 12:30pm

An accidental bad call can ruin a life if not carefully handled.

niqmadu

Mar 23, 1:40pm

This isn’t high school.. refs who routinely make bad calls should be quickly

1984coug

Mar 23, 2:21pm

Yep. With sports betting so prevalent, refs need a REAL short leash.

Orem58thBall

Mar 23, 2:55pm

Agree with solid oversight. Hard to know how it’s handled now.

niqmadu

Mar 23, 2:58pm

Obviously, it isn't being handled in any way that discourages bad officiating.

Les IsMore

Mar 23, 8:01pm

Yeah, it's very telling when a former assistant coach was bothered by him so

westsidecoug

Mar 23, 2:25pm

There's probably already a way using AI to rank and rate refs using game videos.

Ripliancum

Mar 23, 5:58pm

Interesting.

EM_Puma

Mar 23, 12:19pm

Interesting background. Well, that dufus can moulder in his inability to stop the KY train. I'm sure it's

CLCougar

Love the KY EXPRESS reference 🚂

Mar 23, 1:39pm

Tim Lacomb mentioned a few things about him on X last night and was hard on the officiating as a whole.

RootieBoy

Mar 23, 12:20pm

Plenty of complaints of him on CB from 2011 when u search him. See link.

gp232

Mar 23, 12:26pm

Chance Moore was the main culprit. He was the official that Mawot was upset

Pee Wee Reese

Mar 23, 12:34pm

yea, when Fouss was hit in the face it was right in front of the ref

IntelCougar

Mar 23, 2:18pm

Ref looking right at it. Hit his face. Then the follow through raked both arms. Unbelievable no call.

Spiff

Mar 23, 2:26pm

He was also hit across the arms on that play, hence the ball coming out.

ImuaKahuku

Chance has recent history with the BIG12.

Oompabluepaw

Mar 23, 3:14pm

I can't disagree with anything said. HOWEVER, if I were a ref and happened to be

OldFogey

Mar 23, 2:12pm

I’m watching other B12 games and I think it’s happening to all of the B12 teams

ImuaKahuku

Mar 23, 2:41pm

We’ve been thinking that too.

Banjo Blues

Mar 23, 3:09pm

Was he the one watching Fous get raked across the face and arms?

Pundits were lamenting on how bad the referring was, not just Y fans.

SoValleyCOUG

Mar 23, 3:11pm

I am very critical of refs at times on here, of the 3 refs last night, Mike was the least bad of the three

slatecoug

Mar 23, 3:40pm

Check out Tim LaComb's X posts about him. He's not a fan.

Tricky

Mar 23, 4:48pm

….Sucks

cajuncoug

Mar 23, 8:02pm

No issues. Both were appropriate by rule

kapcreations

Mar 24, 4:29pm

I disagree when a player draws a line in the batters box you know

imdocrob

Mar 24, 5:33pm

They could easily have ruled that the contact was accidental. It was.
