COMMENTARY
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Big 12 commissar Bob Bowlsby got his pound of flesh this week, charging West Virginia coach Bob Huggins $10,000 for referring to the officiating crew from last Saturday’s game at Kansas as “three blind mice” in a postgame interview on WVU’s radio network.
Who knew the signal stretched from Weirton to Welch to Martinsburg to Matewan to Irving, Texas?
In Bowlsby’s defense, some sort of action had to be taken. A league can’t just allow its coaches to be comparing referees to rodents.
And in the defense of said officials, Huggins’ off-the-cuff remark was inaccurate.
