In light of the brutal job turned in by officials Bob Trammell, Tina Napier and Bonita Spence in the final seconds of Rutgers 59-58 loss at Tennessee Feb. 11, Spence has been pulled from the UConn-Rutgers regular season finale next Monday at the XL Center. Its a game that will likely decide the Big East championship.

Interesting, particularly since they usually don't announce officials much in advance.

She may not have lost her job, like she said she would have if that game had been for the national championship, but she sure made sure that someone else did (for this game). LOL Laughing Laughing Atleast we know, or can rest assured, that another .2 seconds won't determine their fate... Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes Embarassed

You mean to tell me that that's worse than what we talked about in the "sign of the apocalypse" thread? Laughing

She should have been fired but hopefully it sends a message to the refs about giving wins away to other teams. Being fired would have sent a much better message, but it's a start. Once the WNBA season starts and she walks onto the court I hope people give her the welcome she deserves Twisted Evil

If I get to go to a game this year and I find out she's there, I sure as hell will boo her ass every time she calls something, whether it's a good call or not. And if I know ahead of time, I might bring a big sign that says:

0.2

interesting -- on another board it was suggested that Spence wanted to look at the clock issue but was overuled...


still wonder why the SEC won't discuss Precision Timing

My theory is actually that Spence is the one who stopped the clock (on accident) but I won't go there..

perhaps... but, if the SEC isn't lying, and the officials aren't lying and the timekeeper isn't lying, then it's a mechanical failure....

of course, Rutgers did say the SEC "misspoke"

It's just suspicious that 1.3 seconds is about the amount of time one would need to accidently stop the clock, and then start it up again.
Why did I pick Spence..because she was the one mentioning the clock..

I'm sorry, a mechanical failure..a coincidence..at that point in time, is almost impossible.

I think they just protected their collective asses.

That was in a blog on the site of The Record, by the regular RU beat reporter.

Another theory is she was likely schduled to do the game. If either Bob Trammell or Tina Napier had been part of the crew, they likely would have been pulled too. I get the feeling it will be a looooooong time before any of the 3 get the call to do a Rutgers game Laughing

that's what i was thinking. that it was pre-scheduled, and the league looked it over and said "let's just avoid any potential questions here and have three completely different refs." I'll bet Bonita doesn't mind, because if she was in a similar position late in the game she'd have to second-guess whether or not to make a call at all. And from what I've read, it's Tina Napier that CVS really would have a fit over ... not Bonita.

I wouldn't start high-stepping just yet...Dennis DeMayo is a Philly guy and very tight with Geno and Joe McKeown.
