That dude needs to speak for himself. If he didn't do it, then he doesn't need to be apologizing. Also, saying it's a new low, implies that we have a low standard to begin with. Also, it keeps this story going, which needs to die already. Such an overblown story.
That cheater needs to be writing the apology letter to the kids he screwed.
It's a Louisville fan who feels guilty for hiring Katina Powell for his son's 13th birthday party and is just deflecting guilt.
Being cheated 3 games that COULD have cost us possibly 3 championships no big deal to this fan. Doesn't mean near as much to him as most fans. Cuddle up with the anti UK people? What does that do for you? Different breed of fan .
This is just to put UK in a bad light.
Higgins sucked on purpose & it would take a blind bastard to objectively watch that 1st half & say any different. I DO NOT condone death threats at all, but I'm sure no one really meant it. If it causes a little fear in him to disregard the massive amount of hard work student athletes put & be unjust in officiating (whatever his motive) then so be it. I DO NOT feel sorry for him one bit.
You say: "It's just a ballgame!" So you're telling me that excuses officials trying to affect the outcomes of games? I'm sorry, enough of the siding with officials! I'll side with the student athletes that work their asses off & deserve much better. The athletes should decide games, not the zebras who are having fun with this & making $3,000/game & extra benefits on the side.
Higgins & that entire crew deserve all the criticism that comes their way. Same for most officials all year long across college basketball. Some real accountability might clean this crap up.

So, David Cooper you must feel really good about yourself. Look chump, you don't speak for anyone but yourself. You sure as hell don't speak for the state, BBN or me. Go screw yourself.
It's funny, comments on the article are disabled - now why would they do that, lol.
I don't think he's a UK fan because he goes out of his way to cite other bad behavior like he wanted to make the fanbase look stupid.
Is this the same David Cooper who works at the Taco Bell on Nicholasville Road, near Lansdowne Drive?
Sickening.Article on KSR from some idiot called Bryantheintern was similar in it's whining,self righteous stance making Higgins a total victim.
Yeah, hope he's an unpaid intern. Even then he'd be overcompensated.
I can't stand people the grandstand like that. If you did something and you are sorry for what you did, then apologize. Don't be so full of yourself as to think that you are speaking for a large group of people that you don't know.
in my job, no one cuts me any slack when I make obvious mistakes. Higgins made some whoppers, and millions of people saw them. I have no sympathy for him. If you can't stand the heat, don't do stupid stuff!
until it is proven that it was an actual UK with a legit death threat we as a fan base need nothing to apologize for (the facebook deal to his business was not tactful but its not harmful). the NCAA keeps backing a ref that cant be impartial, clearly has an issue with Cal/UK, and seems to really enjoy inserting himself into the game.
You know what else is simply inexcusable behavior? A referee missing so many blatant calls in the first half against UK. It's also inexcusable that this ref has made some of some his most erroneous calls against us in the tournament(UConn, Wisconsin, etc). Now I don't condone the death threats, but when a ref has a bad history with a team and nothing gets done about it, people are going to take matters into their own hands.

Wow! It's one thing to criticize a ref. It's another thing to make death threats. Whether they are meant or not is a moot issue. Anyone making threats should be locked up.
I may write him an apology, too. Dear John, I am very, very, sorry that your inexcusable officiating has cost us 3 National Championships in the past 7 years.
This dude doesn't speak for me. I don't know where gets off presuming he can speak for anyone but himself. Granted, some UK fans overreacted by calling Higgins, posting bad things on his Facebook page, emailing him and writing bad reviews about his business. The purported death threats are certainly a different matter to the extent such threats were made. I would like to see evidence of this alleged criminal wrongdoing? My sense is Higgins and his law enforcement buddies are milking this melodrama for their 15 minutes of undeserved fame.
On a different matter, how about the NCAA investigating the disproportionate number of losses UK suffers when Higgins is a referee? For Higgins to conclude that he called a good game in the UK/NC travesty is ludicrous in light of the compelling video evidence to the contrary.
Apologies are in order, but it should be Higgins doing the apologizing.
Locked up? You mean after a trial and a jury verdict, right? Because I hear there is absolutely no evidence of a death threat, except for a guy who we know is a weasel and trying to make himself a victim.
The good news is that whenever he refs our games for the rest of his career he'll be under a microscope.
