Is it time for Mile's to boot Pitchford like he did Biggs last year? He keeps doing stupid crap and doesn't learn.

That's a little overreaction.  That was his first really bad play this year.  His technical last game was outrageous.  Biggs kept missing team meetings last year.

I have no problem with Pitchford's ejection, but how can the official look at the replay, see the blatant hold and not call a foul or a technical on the player holding him? Pitchford shouldn't hit the guy, but if guys get away with holding and nothing gets called, then frustration is going to boil over. Hitting is wrong, but  so is blatant, uncalled holding. College basketball referees are  terrible

In order for them to do that, it'd have to be allowed for them to do that.

If they saw him hit Walt first they could call it on the replay. I beleive officials have discretion for calling technicals for misconduct. and provoking

Though both players may have attitude problems, they are vastly different attitude problems

Did he hit Walt?

 

He had Walt's arm, but it didn't look like he was provoking anything.  That kind of hold happens quite often during a game, I'd suspect.

I was going to say something, but didn't want to sound like I was whining.  It was a foul on the MSU player that started it.  Walt does have to keep his cool, and maybe poke him in the eye.  That's how Iowa does it. :D

Number one rule in sports (and life for that matter)  It is almost always the 2nd punch that gets called
