I didn't have a problem with the technical at all. For those who watched the Kentucky @ Mississippi State game last night Anthony Davis got T'd for the exact same dunk and hang.

Video below...

I'm convinced that burr calls fouls just so he can catch his breath, the fat piece of hobo shit.

Davis was moving much slower and had a better idea of where the defenders were. Keith had to hang or he could've hurt himself, either from the speed he was moving or because a defender undercuts him (they were behind him, how is he supposed to know what they're doing?)

The dude is 65 and over weight. My experience is those guys even at the HS level are a bit slow and have a power complex that keeps them in the game. It is a control thing. Retire dude give us all a break.

The alternative

A) Williams did it much more emphatically in the first half with no one around him, no call.

B) Appling looks down and pulls his legs up to avoid hitting the trailing player, swings away from him. The minn player was coming under his right side.

C) Tech was not called until after the minn player walked up to him.

D) 2 plays prior, Williams showed him up the exact same way Green did when burr called Green for his T, no call.

E) If there is any chance a player's safety is at risk, they are never supposed to be called for hanging on the rim.

It was a BS call on Davis and it was an even bigger BS call on Appling. I don't know what the rule states in the rule book and I don't really care how technical I'm being here, that call should only be made in absolutely extreme circumstances.

Exactly. Both were BS calls. If they're going to call that a tech, they might as well eliminate two-handed dunks on fast breaks, because you can't protect yourself without doing exactly what Appling did.

I saw that dunk and had a problem with that call too. Just cause it's a call in another game doesn't mean it's not a shitty call. If the players are endangering someone or taunting I can see calling a technical foul, but seriously, just let the guys play the game. You never notice the refs when they are good.

-1 because you only have 547to reasons to hate jim burr

In the Syracuse - Louisville game a couple weeks ago he called a foul then had to go to the monitor to figure out who to call it on. It's like he just assumes a foul was committed without actually seeing it happen. Makes me wonder how many times he's called a foul and randomly pointed at someone he thinks could have committed one.

I thought the Big East banned him after the crap he pulled in their tournament last spring?

That was a sweet technical though. It was like he couldn't really get up to the rim, so instead he was just going to bring the rim down to a more convenient height.
