I refereed with Shows in his early days in the Peachbelt Conference division 2. He carried his shoes in a Arkansas Razorback bag and openly discussed his hatred for Kentucky. He should NEVER be allowed to officiate Kentucky, or his dad's school Miss St. There is zero accountability with the SEC officiatingMy High School basketball coach was Joe Dan Gold. He was from Benton, Ky and played college basketball for Mississippi State from 1960-63. His teammate was Bobby Shows (Doug Show’s father). Coach Gold passed away a few years ago and I have remained friends with his widow.
She told me once that Bobby Shows HATED Kentucky with a passion and that hate has been passed down to his son Doug. I find that to be true based upon his horrendous officiating against Kentucky over the years.I mean, we all look up to our fathers and have the same likes and dislikes they have. It’s human nature.
UKs win percentage with Shows…. Under 60%

i need to edit... I did math in my head and was wrong...I don't like the guy because I think he loves attention but including Tuesday nights game we are 93-38 in games he officiates for a 70.9 winning percentage. Way better than Roger Ayers (13-12, 52%) and John Higgins (4-5, 44%)

no problem, it was my mistake...I'm glad someone(s) found it.No problem. It's way too often someone posts something that is inaccurate and then others who read it will swear that's the way it is. I will say I didn't see where someone else posted the actual number when I replied or I wouldn't have. Don't think I was trying to pile on or brow-beat you. 100% not my intent
Mistakes on Cats Illustrated will be found, those who make them will be called out and possibly blasted on these here forums !!🤣🤣🤣 I speak from experience !!no problem, it was my mistake...I'm glad someone(s) found it.

🤦True it definitely is, although you made another mistake I must call out..........we aren't on HOB, we're on RR - a mistake you and I both
made !! 🤣🤣🤣
He’s definitely incompetent, like most of them. If a ref is good people never even know their names outside the ones who always get final fours, Playoffs, ect.I've watched Shows officiate many different games. There are always bad calls from him in pretty much every game. I don't know if he hates UK or not, but it wouldn't surprise me if that is the case. Having said that, one thing I've noticed about him is that he struggles more in intense atmospheres and in games where the pace is fast. I think he has some kind of issue that interferes with his ability to make the proper call, but instead of asking for help from the other 2 guys, he just confidently makes a call. He often sees things that are not there or just misses things that are obvious. This is not a one-time event. We obviously see his calls against UK more than any other games he officiates, but if someone put together a video compilation of his bad calls, I think you'd have a better case for incompetence than bias.
Having said all of this, in this particular case the action wasn't moving too fast and the call was blatantly bad. I've watched it at regular speed to see if something could have been interpreted as a foul on Wallace, but there is nothing. And in slow motion, it's even more clear. I'm wondering if he zoned out (maybe he has some kind of Attention Deficit issue where he gets distracted and looks away) and then just invented something. When he makes the call, he's always theatrical and confident about it, though. He loves making the charge call and gets to pump his fist and dramatically point in the other direction.
The most infuriating part of this particular call is that it took points off the board. And then he compounded it on the other end by making another questionable call (not as bad as the one on Wallace). It ended up being a 5pt swing and it would have given UK control of the game at that point. Instead of an 11pt lead, it was a 6pt lead after that sequence.
I used to see Bill Gold and his wife Sheila at the SEC tournaments, he worked with and is friends with my brother-in-law and sister-in-law they are big UK supporters. Marshall Co has turned out several SEC players most of them migrating to Vanderbilt, glad you posted this great post.My High School basketball coach was Joe Dan Gold.

The next time he does one of our games at Rupp fans need to hold a sign up like they do for Oscar but have it say Shows blatant horrible cheating calls and count them like Os rebounds..
