Around SBN: Win or Lose, Boston Celtics' New Big 3 Era A Success

Basketball Ref Mike Stuart

Look I am not a tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorist. I hate that crap.

But this guy is pushing the limits of professionalism and the stats against Alabama every time this moron takes the court is astounding.

from rivals tinfoil hats

In our last TWO HOME GAMES against Vandy - they have shot 66 Free Throws while Alabama has shot 27. By the way, we have taken the ball two the rim a LOT more than Vandy has.

from GoodmanCBS on twitter

By the way, told Mike Stuart - ref who hit Anthony Grant tonight - has T'd Grant up each of the last three games he's done.

The stat I'm seeing on the tinfoil hat boards is that we've lost the last ten games Mike Stuart has called - all with the fouls favoring the other team. The tinfoil hats seem to think it's because he is from Tennessee and is a Tennessee fan and blah blah blah.

I don't care about that. Frankly I think he has more of a problem with our coach than our team. Maybe Grant's style rubs him the wrong way. Maybe he doesn't like the way he dresses or cuts his hair. Maybe he doesn't like Coach Grants implied he has sexual relations with his mother, I don't know. But the man does not like our coach.

He's either biased or incompetent and either way I don't want this guy refereeing an Alabama game.

If I'm being a Barner about this tell me so I can take the tinfoil off, but this guy just seems bad at his job.

UPDATED

On JOX they are now saying that the ONLY three times Anthony Grant has been called on a technical in SEC play has been by Mike Stuart though I kind of doubt this I don't have the time to do the research - I only post wild speculation in my anger haha

for reference THIS did not result in a technical from Ref Tim Riggins

seems legit

Not only was the technical called on Coach Grant unwarranted, but the offensive foul on Jamychal Green was ridiculous. To be fair, Vandy did a terrific job defensively on our young guys, but there were definitely fouls that were called on one end that weren’t called on the other.

It was the missed calls against Vandy that had me dumbfounded

almost got tossed out of a game back in 09 in the student section

was on the front row of the bleachers opposite of the normal student section – followed the refs across the court as they went to their locker room pointing in the face of mike stuart and calling him out for his terrible referee skills. good thing i knew the sports producer, or i would have been booted.

mike stuart belongs nowhere near a basketball court.

Any more and you are getting a cease and desist from chromasters balls inc. - Chromaster

Mike Stuart vs. Alabama

There is an excellent website that tracks referees called statsheet.com
Check out Mike Stuart’s stat sheet.
In the last 8 Alabama games he has officiated, the Tide has lost 7 of them:

Date……W/L..Game………………………….City………….Fouls…..FT attempts
01/19/12 – L – Vanderbilt 69 Alabama 59 – Tuscaloosa – 12-23 – 35-20 – Technical Foul: Alabama
01/15/11 – L – Alabama 65 Arkansas 70 – Fayetteville – 23-19 – 35-22
03/12/10 – L – Alabama 67 Kentucky 73 – Nashville (SEC) – 24-16 – 29-23
03/06/10 – W – Auburn 61 Alabama 73 – Tuscaloosa – 19-16 – 16-20 – Technical Fouls: Auburn 2, Alabama 1
02/20/10 – L – Alabama 70 Georgia 76 – Athens – 22-18 – 27-24
02/04/10 – L – Florida 66 Alabama 65 – Tuscaloosa – 15-11 – 18-21
01/16/10 – L – Alabama 59 Arkansas 71 – Fayetteville – 18-12 – 18-8 – Technical Foul: Alabama
01/13/10 – L – Vanderbilt 65 Alabama 64 – Tuscaloosa – 24-19 – 37-17

*There is definitely an imbalance in fouls and free throws attempted. Also notice that most of these losses were very close and two were decided by one point.

Fourteen and counting

Yeah, I doubt we would have

won last night the way we played but we were in it with 3 minutes to go in the 1st half and Stuart definitely had a effect on the game. If I were him I’d request not to do Bama games because every fan base has crazies. Thankfully we only go him once last year.

Just saying if he keeps pulling this stuff he might regret it.

If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.

Um

I don’t think you were actually proposing that someone should or will do bodily harm to another human being over a sporting event, but a statement like that could easily be misinterpreted as such. Let’s avoid those kinds of comments whenever possible.

And that Auburn game (the only win)

Was probably the dirtiest basketball game I have EVER seen.

Wait. I can't read. That's the 2010 Auburn game, not last year.

I wasn’t actually at that one.

The nerds are respected.

We must face it. I’m not into conspiracy theories per say, but there are a couple I’m all in on.

I LOVE THE ASTROS. Now lets win something!

Chris Stewart . . .

. . . actually mentioned this on the broadcast last night. Chris is a homer but he’s a pretty reasonable guy.

Yeah, if Chris Stewart is calling someone out

they need to be outed.

If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.

Don Kausler on Mike Stuart

“Good observation on (Stuart officiating) 10 games in 10 consecutive days. Stuart did 50 games last season and already has done 49 this season, including 16 in 19 days this month. He worked the first five days of January, then did only one game in a four-day stretch before starting on his 10-day run. This was his first Alabama game this season. Wrong on the 1-14 stat. Alabama is 2-7 in games he has called during Anthony Grant’s three seasons.”

BTW, the other win was over Mercer.

Fourteen and counting
