If you see a foul, or an infraction of some kind, you should call it.
I know that's not how it works, but it drives me crazy.

Well I guess someone should of told Ted Valentine about that ref etiquette because he called everything and screw the other referees. I hated to see him on the court.
He screwed up an over an back in Chicago when we were play DePaul or Loyola and followed that up with a similar situation against Ohio State. I believe there were some threats made and they stopped announcing who the referees were.
I couldn’t understand why the other referees put up with him and why we had to endure him and his ego.
