Yeah, they had a lot of players with 3 and 4 fouls, yet none of them seemed to foul out. That "John Doe" ref basically fouled Thompson and Garcia out of the game. I wa surprised they didn't call more on Gai because they were clearly trying to take away the middle for us.

His name is Gene Steratore. I have never seen him before. The other 2 officials, Tom Lopes & Bryan Kersey, are much better known refs, often doing Big East & ACC games

Were you referring to the unbelieveable call at midcourt where the 2 Jaspers ran into eachother, one fell, and although we weren't involved, we got the foul? Funny how the 2 coaches I know who drove down from Waterbury commented how bad the officiating was.

I think the wrong official made the call. The play was near mid-court but "middle" guy didn't make it. It was the trail guy who didn't have an angle. He was older guy who call both T's. While it seemed he was a pretty good ref technically, in my mind things were a bit too much about him and him being "the man" in charge. He was barking back at TOT which is a BIG referee mistake.

Unfortunately, horrible officiating is becoming common in this league. I don't think it's biased, just incompetant.

He was the only ref to make bad calls... the other 2 were pretty good, cauae I don't even remember them. The amazing thing is that usually a ref that makes a lot of questionable calls and is being harrassed by the fans, eventually makes a good call and the Fans give the Ref a "Mock Cheer"...... John Doe never got that mock cheer.

Bottom line we lost cause Manhattan played better than us.
