Valentine's favorite coaches are: Gene Keady, who used to be at Purdue. Tom Izzo (Michigan State), Gary Williams (Maryland), Jimmy Calhoun (Connecticut). Coach K (Duke's Mike Krzyzewski) is a blue-collar guy. Leonard Hamilton of Florida State. When the game is over, it's over.
I don't mind Valentine....although he tends to swallow his whistle at times which could mean bad news for today's game as we need to have the officials not allow MSU to get away with the mugging they do....

Teddy V loves him some Izzo.

I'm sorry, but how can he still ref an MSU game if he openly admits that he has favorites and Izzo is one of them?
I was only able to see parts of the game, and I missed something it seems. I saw at halftime the ESPN talking heads were discussing Valentine being something of a showboat and Fran not liking some call. What happened?
Short story is Fran got down 20, Teddy made a call that he didn't like (I'm not even sure what it was) and Mount McCaffery errupted by running out to half court and screaming that the call was f'ing bull ****. Teddy t'd him up, like 90% of the rest of officials would.
