Courtside With Rick Pitino And Gorgui Dieng

Watch as Rick Pitino continues to criticize the officiating from Thursday and Gorgui is Gorgui. It's every bit as glorious as you would imagine.

Good to see Rick attacking the idiot officiating

This is a constant problem that needs to be seriously addressed. I would love to see the NCAA put in some kind of penalty system for the refs. They need a reason to care about what they’re doing. Since common decency isn’t doing it, surely the fate of their own asses would.

This seems like a story still unfolding.

My mind is feeling a bit fried from writing papers all day yesterday and today (really could have used some Friday irreverence this week :-/ ) so I might be mixing something up here. However, I thought he made some comment in his press conference yesterday about waiting to hear from the Conference. A coach that is as high profile as Rick probably doesn’t get overlooked when he throws comments like that around, so I imagine there is something happening, but that is all speculation. I really don’t know how these things work.

Go Rick!

I love it when a coach is man enough to speak the truth! So what if he gets fined, what’s a little fine when you’re makin that kind of money. Somebody needs to speak out & put these guys in their place.

That was awesome

Thanks for posting. Gorgui is hilarious and Pitino is really funny messing with him.

As they say in soccer...

“A slow flag is a good flag.” Make sure you see the calls you are making and make sure they are the RIGHT call.

I totally understand how difficult it is to be an official (I’m a soccer official), but when I watch these basketball games I am completely clueless on how they are even officiating these games.

'Unprepared Gorgui' is hilarious.

Oh officiating...

Big East officials are pretty bad, but for those of us who have the displeasure of suffering through Sun Belt games know how bad it really can be. Don’t officials have to go through training and whatnot b4 they can become refs? I fee like every year they have these somewhat random ‘points of emphasis’, but what really needs to improve is just the over all quality of understanding what is and isn’t supposed to called and that includes rebounding, incidental contact, traveling, block/charge, etc.

Best part:

Gorgui’s face when Rick said that cheerleader had to leave the state. “Really?”
