slufan13 Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I don't care if he's an official employee or if he even gets paid to do this job, just hire someone else. It was like Guy couldn't wait to get out of there tonight. He's not terrible at getting the crowd into it after a big play but he screws up so much other stuff.

And saying that we lost when there was still 0.8 seconds left is just absolute trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastBilliken Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 This thread comes up every single year. I think we have a better chance to win the National Championship this year then Guy being fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the new president in attendance last night? He seems to have somewhat higher standards than previous administrations. (And I think Guy's patrons have largely disappeared from the "insider" group at the AD and SLU as a whole.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, was Dr. Chaifetz not there last night? Shame he missed that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about the end of the game - he needs to shut up and not give the refs any reason to think their initial thoughts are wrong. You can not fix stupid.

AlumniFan Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I don't understand the obsession with what I find to be such an immaterial part of the entire college basketball experience. Most of the time, I don't even hear him, or any PA for that matter, but it seems like some people hang on his every word. I just don't get that. Anyway, to be fair about last night, after the VCU layup, Crews was walking over shaking Shaka's hand. The refs had to tell them both to go back to their benches, so it wasn't just the PA who threw in the towel. Kind of a weird finish overall.

Duff Man Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The most egregious PA mistake of the night was the FSM girl saying "Count Dracula" instead of "The Count" during the Sesame Street themed dance contest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deutschkind Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 After watching the replay, I don't mind Guy stating, "final." The referees signaled game over and started leaving the court Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheeseman Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 After watching the replay, I don't mind Guy stating, "final." The referees signaled game over and started leaving the court The one ref was running across the floor stopping the other refs from leaving. He thought and was right that there was still time left on the clock when the ball went out of bounds. JC is to be forgiven because he is watching the play and not the clock. The PA announcer can call the game as final score anytime - it has no value actually because everyone in the arena knows the final score.

Cowboy Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 -the Band played "When the Saints Go Marching In" before the officials went to the monitor and put time on the clock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deutschkind Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 -the Band played "When the Saints Go Marching In" before the officials went to the monitor and put time on the clock I don't remember that. If that's the case, it's likely because we needed a song quickly. We also played it during a couple of the later timeouts. Pretty sure it was the S-A-I-N-T version to try to keep the crowd into the game. After the initial shock, we saw the refs checking the clock.

GOSLU68 Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 It would be a move in the right direction to fire Guy however the subs they keep hiring when he is not available do not have as clear voice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
