Watching the Pitt/Syracuse game, I just saw this run across the bottom of my screen…

“Conference USA says officiating crew used poor judgment in upholding technical foul called when Houston coach Tom Penders collapsed during Saturday’s game at UAB.”

Hey, ya think? You think it’s a bad idea to give a guy a technical foul for collapsing on the sidelines, and being taking out on a stretcher with an oxygen mask strapped to his grill? Think that may have been poor judgment?

In defense of the officials… they thought Penders falling to the floor was a reaction to a foul call. So they stuck a T on him, believing that he fell to the floor to show them up. But that theory was kind of blown to hell when Penders stayed down and couldn’t leave until he won on a stretcher. The officials let the technical foul call stand.

Nice work, boys. One of you should have ran up to the stretcher as it was being wheeled out and screamed “and you’re EJECTED, TOO.”
