After John Calipari got thrown out of Saturday’s game at South Carolina less than two and a half minutes in, everyone wanted to know why. Initially, Calipari seemed upset with Doug Sirmons for not calling a foul on Michael Carrera for dragging Jamal Murray to the ground, which earned Cal the first technical, but it was the second technical that everyone’s talking about. Calipari was furious with Sirmons and had to be restrained by his players and escorted off the court.
What in the world caused Calipari to fly off the handle like that? Cal was asked about the ejection on today’s SEC Coaches Teleconference, but said he wasn’t allowed to talk about it.
“I can’t talk about it,” Cal said, after which the moderator on the call reminded reporters that coaches can’t comment on officiating.
That’s a stupid rule. I don’t know about you guys, but I’d love to hear what Calipari has to say about this:

Doug sirmons should not be a ref, period! He has an agenda every game. A comment was made Saturday how he chats with one team showing all smiles while he hammers the other team. Time after time carrera was hitting and pushing UK players after plays, charging into them. He was whistled one time for a charge and that was it. All 3 refs should be banned for allowing it to keep happening. sirmons kept making horrible calls or non-calls all game long. He just needs to go.
Another poster mentioned Valentine. Maybe he got banned from calling UK games, because I don’t remember him calling any of our games this year.

That was a very gratifying beat-down on Sat! I mean those SC players are dirty and deserved that showtime style, droppin dimes, DUNKING ON YOUR HEAD! OFF THE BACKBOARD!! style a** whoopin. I mean all they did was push! That Mexican kid with the jerry curl almost hurt Jamal Murray on that play. He was basically playing football out there, there was nothing basketball about it. Not mad at Cal one bit for getting thrown out, those refs were gonna kids hurt had he not!! Once he was gone the refs started calling it fairly. It was like they checked twitter at halftime and saw how they WERE GETTING KILLED!

SEC offices phone number (205)-458-3000. They have received a large number of calls, couldn't hurt to add a few more.
