I saw mention of gambling insinuations for Poole in another thread. Anyone able to give some background on that?

You’ll have to Google it but I believe he was involved in a probe when he was an NBA ref. Nothing ever came of it, but he’s no longer an NBA ref.

He ratted out a few other refs I believe is the only reason it didn't go further.

Nonetheless, he was in on it and shouldn't have been allowed to ref another major basketball game ever again.

Insinuations? Dude was so crooked he got fired from the nba.

Is this the same guy that beat us at Georgia? I believe it was and he might be the worst in the SEC. Just wait until Tuesday, the refs will call the game completely different. You never get any consistency.

Jeb Hartness was the worst.

Yes he was. And BG got a tech that game too. Dude's a damn crook.

Indeed it was.

what was up with the goal tend call? it looked like the ball was blocked first by Robinson ... am I wrong? If it was blocked on the way up what does it matter what happens after that.

Exactly! Should be a dead ball at that point.

It was below the damned rim on the SECOND block, and after the first block it can't be a goaltend anyway. It was a shitty, god awful, bad call. It just was. There was no justification for it other than the ref is a cheat and a hack.

I’d like to better understand the rule as well.

Maybe ask a different hypothetical:

Let’s say a ball is partially blocked on the way up, but is clearly on an arc to go thru the basket, should you then be allowed to goaltend it or not?

Sorta the same as this. I think you can’t
