The fact of the matter is that UTEP never gets any respect from anyone because they're not a big money school like Texas or Duke. They are an incredibly talented team each year but are always snubbed when it comes to exposure. Whether the officials made bad calls or not, I dont' know. What I do know is that I respect Tim Floyd for standing up for his team and having passion for them. It's sad that this kind of officiating even exists. GO MINERS!

No matter how bad a game is officiated the game is never lost on an officials call. So anyone to say a game is lost on one call needs to get a life. The teams win or loss the game and miss opportunities.

I'd love to here all the trash talkers go out and ref any sport then come talk to me.

I yell at refs all the time. I have also refereed some AAU games and done WAY better than any high school ref I have ever seen. It isn't that hard.

Idiots on here that blame the officials are something else. How about you referee a game with both coaches and parents screaming at you the whole game. Gosh i'm sure you could handle that, after all, you think you're just that special.

Greg foster is the reason I started playing basketball, he taught me how to play as a post and dominate even though I'm a little small for center

I am a pirate and Tim Floyd is a dick but i believe most refs are the dumbest humans on the face of the earth so i feel his pain with those jackasses who call games, always are wrong and usually have money on the games
