Valid points, but the Colts were also perilously thin on defense (‘18 DROY/All-Pro Darius Leonard, starting safeties Malik Hooker/Clayton Geathers did not make the trip), while WR2 Devin Funchess and WR3 Parris Cambell also didn’t suit up. In a perfect world, you’d love to see both teams at full strength, but to frame…

College basketball official here. I think the majority of my brethren would agree that basket interference is probably one of the most difficult calls to adjudciate in real time. I’m uncertain if FIBA permits reviews for BI (through last year, the NCAA did not), but it’s worth noting that FIBA is the ONLY organization…

When I played college basketball (mid-90's), I played for a coach who didn’t allow facial hair, and required that our hair be kept off of our ears and out of our eyes. His explanation was simple: He wanted us to look ‘professional’ - the same way we would look as if interviewing for a job.

LOL at you thinking Greenland has ice. That’s Iceland. Duh.

Those do look like Kit Kat bars.

As the investigation intensified, the three climbers issued a joint statement: “We made it up.”

That’s a hook-and-hold, second from the left. F1 minimum.

Kind counterpoint, sir: As an official who works men’s college basketball, identifying a shooter for free throws is a vital part of what we do. At our level, the calling official will normaly announce the shooter to his partners before going to the table, but good, non-calling partners will also say, “I’ve got your…

Dan, these clips are always fantastic. But I feel like we often shortchange Dave Pasch’s role here. He is the perfect complement to Bill’s ramblings. I can’t get enough of these two. 

As a Colts fan, this was spot-on. Great work.

Pre-kids, I may have agreed with Halloween’s general placement. But Halloween with two young boys is THE SHIT.

That’s tough. I’m sure, in hindsight, he wishes he would’ve kept his players out of arm’s way. 

UPDATE: Giri Nathan is no longer employed by Gizmodo Media Group.

Wait, Barry. Let’s go to the officials on this one:

Soccer!

I agree. $2 for a sandwich is acceptable.

At least that dad won’t be surprised when, years later, he finds his son inebriated on drugs while standing behind the garage.

I need some clarification by the brilliant, non-greyed minds:

More like José María Olaquábal, amirite!?!

As a men’s college basketball official with no real knowledge of NBA rules, this is bonkers. Team control still exists during flight of a non-tipped pass - which is far different than a shot attempt (where no team control exists). If this was the proper adjudication by NBA rules, it literally makes no sense to me.
