Like many of you, I was more than upset about the refereeing of the Iowa Hawkeyes game at Maryland on Sunday. For too long, I felt consumed by it. I remain all in on Fran McCaffery, so seeing him blow up was actually a plus for me. It was, after all, his first expulsion in about 4 years, and only his second and third technical fouls of the season. Though you wouldn’t tell by the high horse national media.
Beyond all the hand-wringing about Fran McCaffery, something continued to stick in terms of the other parties complicit in that turn of events: the referees.
