He told me to stop doing that and he would start calling fouls.” Pretty shady if you ask me...

BTW, Marshall seems to be easily frustrated.  He was benched for five or six minutes early on the 2nd half (even before the run-in with DJ) because he was losing his cool.  Would love to see the OZone rag him for 40 mins next month.  He might pop a cork. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Obviously, he had an interest in helping Akron. There's no other way to look at it.

I'm all for criticism on the refs, but let's remember these guys probably had a 5 second discussion between plays and Zeke could have easily interpreted a comment slightly differently than the way a ref intended it. The outrage seems much ado about nothing to me.

We don't know from the anecdote when this happened. It could have been summer league. Or a Dambrot scrimmage. And furthermore, what that ref told him should be no different than what coaches would have been telling him up to the point of his great epiphany.

If this statement is true, it is also false.                   --Dr. Donald Horning, circa 1965 Back to Top OUVan General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Location: Bethesda, MD Post Count: 5,580 Status: Offline     RE: Refs told Zeke how to draw fouls    Posted: 1/17/2012 12:25:50 PM  Refs talk to players all the time.  I'm guessing he had the same conversation with Jon Smith.  It sounds like Zeke listens better than our guys.
