Minnesota didn't deserve a win yesterday, but that crew should be reprimanded by the league office. A friend who has worked the NCAA tourney the last couple of years was suspended by the Big Sky for a game because of a non-call he didn't make (if that makes any sense), and he's not assigned to do any NCAA games this year. He certainly deserved to be suspended, BTW. It would be nice if the Big Ten would discipline their officials when they make errors like this, but I won't be holding my breath. On a tangent, I remember a game many years ago where two officials (I'm pretty sure one was London Bradley, but I can't remember the other one) blew their whistles simultaneously. One saw a charge, the other saw a block. Incredibly enough, they called a double foul! That was an amazing display of egos and stubbornness. Just found out that my friend got a game or two in Omaha. Good for him.
