Hopefully Fran can make his way onto this list someday

The ACC and SEC Blog: Current NCAA Basketball Referee Ted Valentine Names His Favorite Coaches

WOW! That explains a lot. Tom Izzo, one of Teddy V's favorites.......well, who'd a thunk it??

 

[eveningnewsteam]

Cant believe that ******* actually gave those names. ******* idiot.

 

[hawkfan340]

That fact that he would even answer the question, shows what a frickin' moron that guy is. Wow.

 

[HawksMN]

As a ref I would not be doing that.

 

[1hawkeye1]

Got a feeling the B1G will frown on this.

I know Eddie Hightower gets a lot of sh1t from fans, but Ted Valentine is the worst official in the BIG. And now apparently a huge moron. What kind of ref would give a list of his favorite coaches?

Add to that, according to statsheet.com he is listed as calling the 2nd fewest fouls per game.

I've always despised Valentine since 1997 or 1998 (Indiana vs Purdue), when I saw him T up Bob Knight for coming out on the floor to check on one of his injured players, and then just stand there with a defiant look on his face afterwards. Guy seems like a grade A d@uche.

There was another interview where he said he has fans who come just to watch him.

I don't know how this pompus *** can be enployed as a ref.

 

[LG210]

That is absolutely insane. Unreal. Who would answer that question?

 

[LG210]

Fran needs to come to the next game that Valentine refs in a blue mechanic's shirt with a little white oval that says "Fran" in cursive, complete with oil stains and some grease on his hands.

Would that be blue-collar enough for Teddy V?

Jim Delany loves him some big ol' Ted Valentine, judging from his assignments. Keeps things in order, you know.

Conference teams that are supposed to dance, dance. Those that aren't, don't.

A lot of people view the B1G as a paragon of virtue. I think if you got behind the facade, it might be another matter...

Oh, well never mind then.

 

[Herkyalert]

To be fair, he's cut down his technicals.

It takes a lot of energy to put on that kind of production. He needs to limit the number of shows he puts on each night.
