I NEVER swore, ever. I never do--I know too many kids are in our section, including the kid sitting right in front of me. The harshest word I use is "crap".
So I rode Ed Corbett pretty good today. I sit near the MU bench and near the official TV monitor, third row. It started at halftime when they were looking at the monitor and I pointed out that they should be able to see the travel before the Georgetown player hit the shot. So I turned it up in the second half, especially with Fischer's 5th foul. It must be noted that prior to the end of regulation, Wojo wasn't too happy with the officiating either.
So when they were looking at Carlino's shot and after, since it was signalled a three by at least one ref, me and everyone else in our section was going a little nuts--seems to me it was called a 3 on the court (I now know 2 refs called it differently) and I was all over them when they couldn't decide--all I saw the three call and always thought it was a three--the official signalled three to the scorer.
So when the game was no longer in doubt I yelled at Corbett: "Put one in the win column for Corbett" so he could hear it. I was standing. As he runs down the court, he turns, looks at me and yells "Fu** you". I yelled back: "Are you talking to me?". Then I thought I better shut it down because I think a ref swearing at a fan could become an incident--it may still be a problem if any person of authority caught the exchange. In any event, I guess I got to him--and I was nowhere near AlphaBangura's A game. It really shows me what a crappy official Corbett is--not only did he let a fan get to him, he swore at a fan. I am not sure what to make of it. Makes me wonder where his head was at today and, most importantly, whether he was comfortable with the call at the end of regulation.
