Great Pitino quote

[chroix]

This is the way. Love what he says here. Thought some of y’all might enjoy it.

 

[WeWant9]

I don’t disagree with him. Only difference is that coaches and players have to get behind the mic and address their mistakes. Refs should be no different.

 

[GoAndRunIsGoneAndDone]

I love the quote and he's right....but he always had a silver tongue and knew just what to say. Well done regardless.. and I agree with him

Some here, all they do is complain about the refs. When I performed musically years ago all people did was complain about this judge and that judge. But the director told us "it all boils down to execution".

Helluva fantastic quote. That, folks, is called standing up and facing the music.

When he was at UK he said “refs can’t cost you the game if you do your job”.

As a former official (many moons ago), I love what Rick said.
...Official do not cheat
...They do make mistakes
...So boo them and hate them (part of the game)
...But stop the Blame Game.

So 2017 didn’t happen.
I agree we all make mistakes players coaches and referees alike, but acting like some of those poor decisions are not calculated and done on purpose. It’s just not realistic.

Agreed. But it's not NEARLY as common as some here want to think it is.

That game came down to one bad call but it was because of a number of failures prior to that. Hit free throws, cutdown on turnovers, you name it. Any one piece executed correctly before the end could have swayed the outcome. By failing to execute you put the ref in the position to fail and cost you your goal. At least then you make it so egregious everyone has to take notice.

There were several key no calls as well
